Notes

Studio recording, 1997. Dave Grohl is documented to use the Vox AC30 for clean tones in Foo Fighters recordings, including 'Everlong'. Guitar tech and multiple sources confirm this pairing for clean sections. Mesa/Boogie Dual Rectifier is used for dirty tones, but not for the clean riff/verse.

Difficulty

The clean riff in 'Everlong' is intermediate to hard due to its fast, relentless strumming pattern, syncopated rhythm, and need for precise muting and dynamic control.
