Notes
Studio recording, 2009 ('Humbug' album). Gear inferred from era and multiple sources referencing Stratocaster and Orange amps for this period. Solo section uses neck pickup and additional gain/distortion pedals. No evidence of other guitars or amps for this part.

Difficulty
The solo requires intermediate technique due to expressive wah use, managing stacked overdrive/distortion, and maintaining clarity with delay repeats. Timing and dynamic control are essential for the phrasing and effect transitions.
