Notes
Studio recording, 2020 (Ohms album). Clean tone for 'Sleep Walk' solo section. No direct evidence of alternate guitar or amp for the clean solo; inferred from Deftones' studio practices and confirmed amp/guitar for this era. No evidence of live-specific gear for this section.

Difficulty
While technically not fast or complex, the solo demands expressive phrasing, control of clean tone, and subtlety in dynamics and vibrato, making it intermediate for most players.
