Notes

Studio recording, 1992-1993 (Blood Sugar Sex Magik sessions). No explicit evidence for pedals in solo, but chorus effect is clearly audible. No evidence of wah or delay in solo. Stratocaster with stock single-coils is confirmed for this era and song. No evidence for Seymour Duncan SSL-1s on the original recording.

Difficulty

The solo requires intermediate technique with expressive bends, vibrato, and dynamic control, as well as sensitivity to the chorus effect for phrasing. While not extremely fast or complex, the solo demands musicality and precise articulation.
