Pretty cool! About 19:00 they talk about the guitar solo, and Shelly remembers he had several mics on the guitar amp with some of them heavily limited and others not. This gave the the clear dynamics of the picking while the limiting helped create incredible sustain on the tone. Great technique!

That one stuck out to me as well. Some nice nuggets in there!
