Notes

Studio recording, 2004-2005 for 'Lullabies to Paralyze'. Josh Homme is known for using the Maton MS500 with the bridge humbucker into a Peavey 260 Standard PA head for the 'Little Sister' solo. No evidence of live rig or alternate guitars for the studio solo. Pedal use confirmed for solo section only.

Difficulty

The solo requires intermediate to advanced control of octave fuzz and wah, with precise articulation and timing to cut through the mix. Managing feedback and maintaining clarity with high-gain fuzz adds to the technical challenge.
