Notes

Studio recording, 2013, album 'AM'. The riff was tracked with the Vox Starstream XII 12-string through a Selmer Zodiac Twin 30, sometimes blended with a Magnatone Custom 410 for vibrato/reverb. No evidence of live rig or alternate guitars for the studio riff section.

Difficulty

The riff is rhythmically straightforward but requires tight timing, dynamic control, and accuracy on a 12-string guitar, making it moderately challenging for intermediate players.
