Notes

Studio recording, 1981. No direct evidence for the exact guitar/amp for this solo, but period interviews and session photos indicate Lasse Wellander used a Les Paul Custom into a Music Man HD-130 for ABBA's late-era tracks. No evidence of pedal use for this solo; likely straight into amp with studio reverb.

Difficulty

The solo is technically accessible but demands expressive phrasing, smooth vibrato, and accurate bends to capture the emotional feel of the original.
