Notes

Studio recording, 2002-2003. Brad Delson used PRS Custom 24 and Mesa/Boogie Dual Rectifier for heavy tones on Meteora. No direct evidence of pedals for the solo, but effects are audible. Pickup selector likely in bridge position for solo. No evidence of live/touring gear or alternate guitars for this section.

Difficulty

The solo is melodic and not technically fast, but requires control over bends, vibrato, and timing with delay repeats for a polished sound.
