Notes
Studio recording, 1976 (Rocks album sessions). No evidence of live/touring substitutions for the original solo. No evidence of additional outboard preamp or rack effects. All gear confirmed for Rocks-era heavy tracks, but not 100% confirmed for this solo specifically; best available evidence.

The solo requires fast picking, aggressive bending, and precise phrasing at a high tempo and gain level, making it challenging for intermediate players.
