solo
Here's the basic outline... listen to the recording for the subtle nuances that make 
such an impressive performance. EJ has the most amazing smooth, bell-like violin tone
and it's played very, very clean. IMO, one of the best lead tones he has ever recorded
and similar to some of Mark Knopfler's tone on "Why Eye Man." Dial in violin tone (dark
plexi amp or Class A with mid-hump, dark), reduce boost on pedal approx 50%, and reduce
volume on guitar. Mix with a clean Fender Twin Reverb with gain @ 3. Bridge pickup,
guitar tone control @ approx 2.5-3).
