Notes

Studio recording, Continuum album (2006). The clean solo tone was tracked with a Strat into a Dumble Steel String Singer, close-miked. No evidence of live rig or alternate amps for the clean solo section. Pickup selector is in position 4 (neck + middle).

Difficulty

The solo requires intermediate-level control of dynamics and expressive phrasing, with subtle bends and fingerstyle articulation. While not technically fast, the nuance and touch sensitivity make it challenging for less experienced players.
