November Rain
The most-played stadium solo of a generation — a Kris Derrig '59 Les Paul replica with Seymour Duncan Alnico II Pros, into a modified Marshall JCM800 2203, in Eb. The voice is sustain and vibrato, not gain: a singing, vocal lead with lush studio reverb floating it over the piano. Slash tracked the feedback by splitting into a second amp and playing back loud — the sustain is real, not a pedal.
