Notes
Studio recording, 1992 debut album. All sources agree on Telecaster and JCM800 for the solo. Pickup selector: bridge. No amp reverb. Whammy pedal for pitch-shifting solo. Settings are for the studio recording, not live.

Difficulty
The solo requires advanced coordination between hands and feet for expressive Whammy and wah use, as well as tight rhythmic control and aggressive picking. The technical challenge is high due to the need for precise effect timing and maintaining clarity with heavy distortion.
