Notes

Studio recording, 1994-1995. Clapton used his signature Strat with mid-boost and a modded late-50s Fender Tweed Twin for the riff section. No evidence of pedal use for this part; amp and guitar provided the tone. No chorus, delay, or modulation effects audible in the riff. All evidence points to a straight-into-amp setup for this era and song section.

Difficulty

The riff requires moderate control of picking dynamics to maintain the edge-of-breakup tone and clear articulation, but does not involve advanced techniques or fast passages.
