Notes

Studio recording, 2002. Gear inferred from Premier Guitar and Guitar World rig rundowns for the 'One by One' era. Exact solo guitar not 100% confirmed, but Explorer with humbuckers and Friedman BE-100 is most likely for the solo section. No evidence of Dave Grohl playing the solo; Shiflett is credited for most leads in this era.

Difficulty

The solo requires intermediate-level technique, including melodic phrasing, alternate picking, and expressive bends, but does not involve advanced shred or complex timing.
