Notes

Studio recording for 'All Hope Is Gone' (2008). Mick Thomson is confirmed to have used the Diezel Herbert head for the album, running into custom Omega or Rivera cabs. The Ibanez MTM1 with EMG 81 is his main studio guitar for solos. No evidence of alternate guitars or amps for the solo section. Settings estimated based on genre, amp, and era due to lack of explicit knob values.

Difficulty

The solo requires advanced alternate picking, fast runs, and precise control over bends and vibrato, making it challenging for most intermediate players.
