No. 2091986·heavy-metal·5 blocks

Killer of Giants

Lee calls this his proudest piece of writing, and it is the track where his layering method is most audible. He cut the basics and solos on the white Charvel, then doubled them with the blue burst or the purple burst -- and crucially, he always doubled through whichever of his two Marshalls he had not used the first time. The width in this solo is two different amps playing the same notes, not a chorus pedal.
