Notes
Studio recording, 1989 release. Gear based on era, artist interviews, and Equipboard listings. No direct studio photo evidence for exact pedal models on this track, but delay and reverb are clearly audible in the solo. Dave Rude's modern rig is not relevant for the original recording.

Difficulty
The solo requires intermediate technique, including expressive bends, vibrato, and phrasing that works with the delay repeats. While not extremely fast, it demands control and melodic sense.
