I thought I heard Butch Vig say Billy played the solo, then learned to play it backwards and recorded that, then they played the backwards solo in reverse to give it that weird sound we all love. Lots of creative effects and studio magic on their early albums.

HUGE thanks to ya for isolating this solo to learn! Billys leadwork is very underrated to me, and Ive always thought he deserved more credit as a lead guitarist. His chops are amazing! Their albums were full of very intricate solos that although yielded some of the similar influences as his 90s counterparts, Billy managed to sound like in a cosmos of his own. His tone, and soloing style was totally unique and apart from the other bands of the time. The solo to "Quiet" is another one of his amazing oddities that again, is out there, yet fits what he was playing. Live, I loved his even more aggressive attack to the songs and his use of chorus pedals to really soup up the sonics. Thanks again for this!

You're welcome mate glad you enjoyed the solo breakdown! Smashing Pumpkins tunes are tricky to work out as there's so much going on in the mix, and the fuzz sound obscures a lot of pick attack etc. All adds to the challenge and lots more SP to come! :-)

I’m 42 years old and have always wanted to play this solo. I messed around as a kid with the guitar but kinda picked it up in the last year again more seriously. Your video actually made a reality something that was only possible on “air guitar” 😂. Cheers man.

Such a great job I ve been working on this solo for many months ... You nailed it perfectly! Billy is a GREAT guitarist, not only solooing to show his skills, but a great combination between chords and solo, riffs and tricky stuffs; James Iha completes perfectly the sound of guitars. Pumpkins are one of my fav bands. Keep on playing :)

Thank you! Quick tip for guitarists on a Budget: It won't sound exactly right, but you can get "close enough" to Corgans tone with a cheap Phaser and a Fuzz. Good enough for bedroom rockers anyway.
