Notes
Studio recording, 2015-2016 (Dystopia album sessions). Ryan Wariner played the clean/slide solo section using his Les Paul plugged into Dave Mustaine's amp rig. No explicit mention of pedals or amp model for the clean section. No evidence of live performance gear for this part.

Difficulty
The solo requires intermediate slide technique, precise intonation, and expressive phrasing on a clean tone, but does not involve fast shredding or complex timing.
