Notes

Studio recording, 1992-1993. Warren Cuccurullo is credited for the guitar parts on the original studio version. The JC-120 is confirmed as his main amp for clean, chorus-heavy tones in this era. No evidence of alternate guitars or amps for the riff section. Settings are estimated based on typical JC-120 use and Helix community presets for this song.

Difficulty

The riff is not technically fast or complex, but requires accurate finger placement, clean playing to avoid muddiness with heavy effects, and good timing to lock in with the delay and modulation.
