Notes

Studio recording, 2005 (Mezmerize/Hypnotize sessions). Daron doubled parts with an early 80s Gibson Korina Flying V, but the SG is the main guitar for clean sections. No evidence of pedal use for clean tone; amp is run clean with possible studio reverb/delay added in mix. No evidence of live rig for this specific recording.

Difficulty

The solo is technically straightforward but requires clean execution, precise timing for harmonies, and subtle dynamic control to match the studio-polished sound.
