Notes

Studio recording for 'Cocoon' (2014, The Balcony album); Johnny Bond confirmed Jazzmaster and AC30 use for this era and song. No evidence of alternate guitars/amps for the riff section in studio. Pedalboard includes ZVEX Fuzz Factory and Audio Kitchen The Big Trees (overdrive), both confirmed for this era. No evidence of JCM800 or Bad Cat for this song's studio riff.

Difficulty

The riff requires solid timing, tight palm muting, and dynamic pick attack, but uses straightforward power chords and rhythm, making it accessible to intermediate players.
