This solo's tone is a bit tricky to get ... i think u should put the 5-way
selector switch toward you with your tone knob(s) at full. I personally like
to put a little tube amp distortion behind it for a great. This might be
done on a synth but i think this works just as well.

Have fun learning this great solo and remember to put your selector switch towards you.
