Notes

Studio recording, 1994; Sammy Duet states in Source 1 that both Marshall JCM 900 and Randall RG100ES were used for the album, with Tube Screamer and Metal Zone pedals for distortion. Pickup confirmed as EMG 81 in bridge. Settings were often changed, but this is the closest documented setup for the solo section.

Difficulty

The solo requires tight rhythm control, fast picking, and expressive bends typical of sludge/doom metal solos, but does not reach extreme technicality or shred levels.
