Notes

Studio recording, 1981. Billy Squier confirmed use of the 1960 Fender Telecaster Custom for 'My Kinda Lover' on the Don't Say No album. Forum sources and interviews indicate a Marshall Lead 100 head was used for the solo. No evidence of pedals or additional effects in the studio chain for the solo section.

Difficulty

The solo requires intermediate-level phrasing, accurate bends, and dynamic picking, but does not involve advanced shredding or complex techniques.
