Notes
Gear confirmed for 2010 live performances of 'Beauty School' (see Equipboard). No direct studio documentation, but live gear is likely similar to studio setup for this era. Focus is on clean riff section, not distorted parts.

The riff is not technically complex but requires careful control of picking dynamics, timing with delay repeats, and clean chord transitions to maintain the lush, ambient texture.
