Notes

Studio recording, 1991/1992. Guitar is Morello's main drop D Telecaster, used for 'Killing in the Name' solo. Amp is the same Marshall JCM800 head used throughout Rage Against the Machine's debut album. No evidence of alternate guitars or amps for the solo section.

Difficulty

The solo requires accurate foot control of the Whammy pedal for octave effects, tight rhythmic precision, and clear articulation through heavy effects, making it moderately challenging for intermediate players.
