Notes
Live at Makuhari Messe, Tokyo, Japan, 3/19/05. Clean tone for riff/verse sections comes from the CAE 3+ SE tube preamp into Marshall power amp. The ES-335's piezo system is sometimes used for acoustic-like clean parts. Settings are for live performance, 2005 tour.

The riff requires consistent strumming with palm muting and dynamic control to maintain clarity in the clean tone, plus timing with delay repeats if used.
