Notes

Live performance, mid/late 1990s. Jerry Cantrell is known to use his G&L Rampage with a single bridge humbucker for clean and lead parts live. The Bogner Fish preamp and VHT Classic power amp were his main live rig for this era. Studio version may differ, but this matches live 'Unplugged' and other live recordings.

Difficulty

The solo requires intermediate technique, focusing on expressive bends, vibrato, and dynamic control to maintain a clean, articulate sound. The phrasing and timing are critical to capturing the emotional feel of the solo.
