Notes

Studio recording, 1999 era (Showbiz album). Guitar was modified with DiMarzio humbuckers and Roland GK2 for VG8 processing. Main amp for distorted tones was the Marshall JCM2000 DSL100. Effects (delay, pitch shifting) were primarily achieved via Roland VG8 multi-effects processor and Line 6 DL4. No evidence of fuzz or wah on this solo. Pickup likely bridge for solo cut and clarity. No evidence of live/touring gear used in studio.

Difficulty

The solo requires advanced lead technique, including fast runs, expressive bends, and tight synchronization with delay repeats, making it challenging for most intermediate players.
