Notes

Studio recording, 2015 (What Went Down album). Guitar and amp inferred from era-correct interviews, live photos, and typical Foals studio setups. No explicit solo-specific gear confirmation, but Yannis is known for using a Jazzmaster and Fender DeVille for this album. No evidence of alternate guitar/amp for solo section.

Difficulty

The solo requires intermediate-level technique due to its syncopated phrasing, clear articulation, and dynamic pick attack, but does not involve advanced speed or complex effects switching.
