Notes

Studio recording, 2011, Wasting Light album. Dave Grohl primarily used his Gibson Trini Lopez through a Hiwatt Custom 100, with some tracks possibly blended with Marshall JMP and Vox AC30. RAT pedal likely used for heavy distortion. Settings estimated due to lack of explicit studio knob values for this song/section.

Difficulty

The solo requires aggressive picking, tight rhythm, and control over a high-gain, fuzzy tone, but does not involve advanced lead techniques or complex phrasing.
