Notes

Studio recording, 1990 (Facelift album). Jerry Cantrell used a Bogner-modded Marshall JCM800 as the primary amp for the solo, with possible blending of Bogner Fish preamp and Mesa/Boogie Dual Rectifier. Guitar is confirmed as a Gibson Les Paul Studio for this era and track. Effects are minimal but wah is clearly audible in the solo. Settings are estimated from forum and Reddit sources referencing the album and amp.

Difficulty

The solo requires intermediate technique, especially expressive wah pedal use, precise bends, and dynamic phrasing, but does not involve extreme speed or advanced shred techniques.
