Notes
Studio recording, 2002. Main rhythm/riff tracked with blend of Fender DeVille 212 and JMI AC30, as per Grant Nicholas' studio and live rig for 'Comfort in Sound' era. Marshall JMP used for some overdubs but primary riff sound is DeVille + JMI AC30. Pedal fuzz/distortion is key to the riff tone.

Difficulty
The riff is rhythmically tight and requires good control of dynamics and palm muting, but does not involve advanced techniques or fast lead playing.
