Notes

Studio recording, 2003. Brad Paisley used either his '68 Paisley Tele or '52 Tele with G-Bender for the solo, through a blend of a '63 Vox AC30 and Dr. Z Z 28. The Z 28 was run through a 15" JBL speaker. No evidence of live rig or other guitars/amps for the studio solo. Pickup likely bridge for maximum twang and articulation.

Difficulty

The solo requires advanced hybrid picking, rapid pedal-steel bends (including G-Bender technique), and precise dynamic control at a fast tempo, making it highly challenging even for experienced players.
