Notes

Studio recording, 2014 debut album. Mike Kerr uses a short-scale Gretsch bass split into guitar and bass amps with octave and fuzz effects. The solo section uses the same bass rig, not a traditional guitar. No evidence of a separate guitar for the solo. All sources confirm the unique bass-into-guitar-amp setup for the album recording.

Difficulty

The solo requires tight rhythmic control, fast picking, and careful management of octave and fuzz effects to maintain note clarity and articulation. The unique bass-into-guitar-amp setup adds complexity, but the solo is not highly technical in terms of advanced guitar techniques.
