Notes

No direct sources confirm the exact guitar, pickups, or amp used on the studio recording of the solo section. LCD Soundsystem's James Murphy is known to use Fender and Gibson guitars and Fender amps live, but no evidence ties a specific model to this solo. All gear is estimated based on genre, era, and typical artist choices. Studio recording, 2006-2007 (Sound of Silver sessions).

Difficulty

The solo requires intermediate technique, with a focus on expressive phrasing, dynamic control, and chordal movement rather than speed or advanced technical skills.
