Notes
Studio recording, 2018-2019 era (from album 'A Different Age'). No direct confirmation of exact guitar/amp model for this song, but all evidence and genre context point to Strat-style guitar and Fender clean amp. No evidence of live-specific gear for this tone.

Difficulty
The riff is straightforward but requires clean, controlled picking and timing to maintain the shimmering, chorus-laden sound. No advanced techniques, but clarity and consistency are important.
