Notes

Studio recording, 1988-1989 Bleach sessions. Guitar is a pawnshop Greco Mustang with a Univox Hi-Flier humbucker swapped into the bridge. Amp is a Randall solid state combo, not a tube amp. Wah pedal and Boss DS-1 distortion used for the solo. No evidence of chorus, flanger, or delay in the solo section. Settings estimated based on genre, amp type, and era.

Difficulty

The solo is not technically complex in terms of note choice or speed, but requires handling feedback, expressive wah pedal use, and aggressive attack typical of punk/grunge.
