Notes

Studio recording for 'The Balcony' (2014), clean riff section. Johnny Bond is confirmed to use a black Fender Jazzmaster and Vox AC30 for this song in both studio and live contexts. No evidence of alternate guitars or amps for the clean riff. No pedal effects confirmed for clean section; fuzz/distortion pedals are used for other sections.

Difficulty

The riff requires clean, articulate playing with syncopated chords and dynamic control, but no advanced techniques or fast passages.
