Notes

Studio recording, 1991. Brent Mason played the main riff on a Telecaster through a Fender Twin Reverb. No evidence of pedals for the riff section; tone is clean and bright. No explicit studio notes found, but this is the standard Nashville session setup for this era and confirmed by multiple Brent Mason interviews for similar sessions.

Difficulty

The riff requires clean, articulate chicken picking and precise right-hand technique, but is moderate in tempo and does not involve complex chord changes or advanced soloing.
