Notes

Studio recording, 1981, album 'Escape'. Guitar confirmed by Equipboard and period photos. Amp model not explicitly stated for this track, but Marshall is the period-correct and genre-typical choice. No evidence of Randall or Mesa/Boogie for this specific recording. Effects inferred from both sources and audio.

Difficulty

The solo requires expressive phrasing, precise bends, and fast melodic runs, all while maintaining clarity and control over dynamics and effects. The combination of melodic lead lines and technical passages makes it challenging for intermediate players.
