Notes

Studio recording for 'Amber' (2001). Tim Mahoney is known for using PRS CE 24 guitars and Mesa/Boogie Dual Rectifier amps in this era. No direct source confirms the exact guitar/amp for this song, but this is the consensus for the album period. No evidence of live rig or alternate guitars for the riff section.

Difficulty

The riff requires tight, syncopated rhythm and clean picking with muted string control, but does not involve advanced techniques or high speed.
