Notes

Studio recording, original album version (circa 1984). No direct evidence from sources, but all available interviews and live photos from the era show Alex Lora using a Les Paul Standard into a Marshall JCM800 for solos. No evidence of pedalboard use for this solo in studio; effects inferred from audio.

Difficulty

The solo requires intermediate technique with expressive bends, vibrato, and melodic phrasing, but does not involve extreme speed or advanced shredding.
