Then…Tom Morello Magic = he plays this solo with the psycho toggle switch technique. But it sounds ok also if played normally.
I couldn’t decide which 1 was better so I have two versions of the solo one for wah and one for people with-out wah.
With Wah and with or without psycho toggle switch method…
