Notes

Studio recording, 2013 (AM album). Guitar and amp confirmed for AM era and likely used on 'Arabella' riff. No evidence of baritone or other guitars for the main riff. Pedalboard for studio not fully documented, but distortion/fuzz is clearly present. Settings are estimated based on genre, era, and available forum info.

Difficulty

The riff requires tight timing, palm muting, and dynamic picking to maintain clarity and punch, but does not involve advanced lead techniques.
