Notes

Live performance, early-mid 1990s (1993-1994), as seen in period-correct live footage and rig rundowns. McCready is the soloist for 'Rearviewmirror' and is known to use his Stratocaster into a Marshall JCM800 for heavy/distorted live tones. Pedalboard includes Fulltone Distortion Pro and wah/Rotovibe for solos.

Difficulty

The solo requires fast picking, expressive wah pedal use, and precise bending/vibrato at high gain and tempo, making it challenging for most intermediate players.
