Notes
Studio recording, 2022 (Skinty Fia album). Carlos O'Connell is the guitarist for the solo. Sources confirm the Mustang was used for heavier/distorted sections, with the amp's spring reverb and additional pedals. No evidence of live rig or alternate guitars for this part.

The solo requires intermediate skill due to its rhythmic complexity, use of effects, and dynamic strumming, but does not involve advanced lead techniques or high-speed passages.
