Notes

Studio recording, 1985-1986. Clean section likely used the same guitar and amp as the rest of the song, but with amp gain set low and guitar volume rolled back. No evidence of a different guitar or amp for the clean solo section. No evidence of chorus, delay, or other modulation effects in the clean section.

Difficulty

The clean solo section requires accurate alternate picking of arpeggios, careful string muting to prevent unwanted noise, and dynamic control to maintain even note volume and clarity.
