Notes

Studio recording for 'Fear Inoculum' (2019). Adam Jones is known to blend the Diezel VH4 (for high-gain, articulate lead) with a Marshall Super Bass (for low-end body) in the studio. The solo section is likely the Diezel VH4 as primary, with the Les Paul Custom bridge pickup. No evidence of live rig or alternate guitars for the solo section.

Difficulty

The solo requires advanced control of phrasing and dynamics to maintain clarity and sustain in a high-gain, ambient context, with precise timing and expressive bends.
