Notes

Studio recording, 1999 (There Is Nothing Left to Lose). Chris Shiflett has stated he used the Cleaver Telecaster Deluxe through a Vox AC30 set just on the edge of breakup for 'Aurora' riff sections. Dave Grohl also used Vox AC30s for clean tones, but Shiflett's part is most prominent in the main riff.

Difficulty

The riff requires intermediate-level picking accuracy, careful timing to match the delay repeats, and dynamic control to maintain clarity and chime on an edge-of-breakup amp setting.
