@rsandler2804 totally. i'm pretty sure that on the record it's a les paul, big muff and a hiwatt, but i could be wrong. in the picture on the back of the record i think he's playing through a hiwatt. there's also a travis bean in the background, i think. i've looked on line for berton averre axology stuff but have never found anything.

@uberscheisse I am the same way so I will give you my two cents worth. Play the lead at about ¾ of the normal speed so your fingers get used to what you are about to put them through. Pack a lunch because this is a long one. Another thing that gets me is the guitar sound. This was recorded in 1979. AMAZING in my opinion anyway!!

@demoderocks Let's go further than that... the band was underrated and they were all great at what they did. It was a perfect match all the way around. If you ever have the chance to see Getting The Knack it is a great documentary from when they first got together until they started to fall apart. That video made me break out the CD and listen to it all over again. I am a guitar player and it was like hearing it again for the first time.

I can play this solo note for note but I have to take a break halfway through. I'd start a Knack tribute band if we would be taken seriously for having an intermission in this song.

BERTON IS MY FRIENDS UNCLE

He really rips it up on their third album "round trip" on a song called Africa. Great player.

SO UNDERRATED GUITAR PLAYER

Fantastic guitar solo! Nobody should be allowed to copy this one. There's just one way to play it and that's by Berton.
