Notes

Studio recording for 'Second Chance' (2008, The Sound of Madness). Zach Myers used a custom PRS Santana semi-hollow with PRS humbuckers. The main amp for the album was a Marshall JCM800, with mention of a Diezel and Mesa Dual Rectifier as secondary options, but the JCM800 is described as the 'workhorse' for the record. Effects include a DigiTech Whammy pedal, which is specifically referenced as a 'secret weapon' for the solo sound on this album. Studio context, not live.

Difficulty

The solo requires intermediate technique due to expressive bends, use of the Whammy pedal for pitch-shifting, and maintaining clarity and sustain. While not extremely fast, the phrasing and effect control add complexity.
