Notes

Studio recording, 2018-2019. Jim Root mentions using his signature Jazzmaster with EMGs for 'Spiders', with a Floyd Rose for the solo whammy use. Amp is Orange Rockerverb 100 MKII, no external distortion, gain from amp. Some experimental tones on the album used Fender Super Reverb with P90s and fuzz, but not confirmed for solo. Effects inferred from pedalboard and audio.

Difficulty

The solo requires advanced control of the wah pedal, precise whammy bar use, and fast, articulate picking/legato technique, making it challenging for most intermediate players.
