Notes

Studio recording for 'Saturday Night Wrist' (2006); settings and pedals inferred from era and Stef's known studio rig for this album. No direct photo or interview of Cherry Waves session, but all evidence points to this setup for the riff section.

Difficulty

The riff requires tight, syncopated picking, careful use of harmonics, and precise timing with ambient effects, making it moderately challenging for intermediate players.
