Conrad writes: I performed these on the most inexpensive strat-type guitar I know of. Before doing this I leveled the frets, thinned the neck, replaced bridge & middle pickups, added weights to the internal vibrato bar, installed roller saddles, and adjusted intonation. This allowed a a string height of less than 1/16″ above the 12th fret, necessary for these two rapidly paced interpretations.

The upper one uses the middle pickup throughout. The lower one uses the middle pickup for the first half of the song, and the neck pickup for the last half.
