Notes
Studio recording, 1994 (Dookie sessions). Pickup selector locked to bridge humbucker. No pedals for clean tone; amp provides all drive. Clean section is rare, mostly in intro/verse, but solo is not fully clean. Settings below are for cleanest possible sound from this rig.

Difficulty
The clean section is technically simple but requires careful control of guitar volume and picking to keep the Plexi from breaking up; otherwise, the part is straightforward.
