Notes

Studio recording, 2005. Gear inferred from multiple sources referencing Nickelback's studio setup for this era. No evidence of live rig or alternate guitars/amps for the solo section. No explicit pedalboard evidence for this song's solo, but amp gain is primary. EMG 81 bridge pickup is most likely for the solo's saturated tone.

Difficulty

The solo requires intermediate technique: clean alternate picking, expressive bends, and control of sustain and delay timing, but does not feature advanced shred or complex runs.
