Amp not explicitly confirmed for this song, but period interviews and genre indicate Marshall JTM45 was used for distorted tones on 'Reckless'. No evidence of Stratocaster or other guitars on this solo. No evidence of live rig or modern digital gear on original recording.

Difficulty

The solo is intermediate due to its melodic phrasing, expressive bends, and need for sustain and dynamic control, but does not require advanced speed or complex techniques.
