Notes

Studio recording, 2002. No direct source confirms exact gear for the studio recording, but period-correct live footage and genre context strongly suggest a Fender Stratocaster into a Vox AC30 or similar British combo amp. No evidence of pedal use for the riff section; tone is achieved with guitar and amp only.

Difficulty

The riff is rhythmically engaging but uses straightforward open chords and strumming patterns, making it accessible to most players with basic rhythm skills.
