Back to the first AB album from 2004 and determined to make an impact on the world with the first set of songs, everything was very riff-heavy, with soaring solos that had Mark pouring his all into every composition. Whilst the last 30 seconds or so of Metalingus is still the most outright-heavy thing they've ever put together, it's Down To My Last that was the first sign that not only did Tremonti have the chops to pull off a whole range of skills - but he could arrange them in a solo in such a way that's incredibly unique to only a handful of guitarists. Sure, anyone with a few years behind the strings can shred or bend a few high notes in a scale, but this solo really seems to contort and shape itself throughout its runtime, ending on a held note that's given some extra kick thanks to some very Van Halen-esque tapping that change the bend into that sweet, sweet harmonic sound any rocker knows and loves.
