So I am aware that this might be quite a sacrilege, being the owner of a 6 string traditional Strat myself (see my other videos). This is certainly my favourite off the entire album, and I simply had to cover it.

Agile 7 string Sentinel (27" scale) with D Sonic bridge pickup - POG 2 (for the highest notes of the solo) - Timmy - BB Preamp - Tone Press - Crunchbox - DD20 - direct into Reaper ampsim with additional reverb and delay.

The pedalboard shot is poorly done - no camera stand and I forgot to up the volume pedal. Oops.

Dude, nice job man! This is my favorite track from the album, and I thought you played it very well. The pedal-board cam is a great touch! Helps people who don't know anything about guitar (me) to see how you're making all of your tones/sounds. Not sure how accurate my terminology is, heh, but I dug your video man.  Good work

Thanks. Don't worry about terminology, we guitarists are simple creatures who tend to avoid jargon... (I hope). Glad you liked it.
