Notes

Studio recording, 1996. Gear based on Neal Schon's documented studio/live rig for the 'Trial By Fire' album era. No direct studio session notes found, but Blackstar Series One 100 and PRS Custom 24 are confirmed as his main setup in this period. Effects are inferred from both rig rundowns and audible characteristics in the solo.

Difficulty

The solo requires advanced phrasing, expressive bends, and fluid legato technique, demanding both technical proficiency and dynamic control.
