Notes
Studio recording, 2007. Sources confirm Les Paul and Marshall JCM2000 as main rig for Sloe Gin album. No evidence of Strat or other guitars for this solo. Pedalboard likely included Tube Screamer and delay for solo boost and ambience. See Equipboard and Premier Guitar interviews.

The solo demands advanced control of bends, vibrato, and phrasing to achieve the vocal-like, expressive tone. While not extremely fast, the emotional delivery and dynamic touch require significant skill.
