Notes

Studio recording for 'Individual Thought Patterns' (1993). Chuck Schuldiner used his B.C. Rich Stealth with a DiMarzio X2N in the bridge, plugged into a Marshall Valvestate 8100 head. No evidence of additional pedals or effects for the solo section beyond possible minimal reverb. Settings are estimated based on era, genre, and typical use of this amp for Death's studio tones.

Difficulty

The solo demands advanced technical skill, including fast alternate picking, string skipping, and precise note articulation at high speed, making it challenging for all but experienced metal guitarists.
