Notes

Studio recording, 1982-1983 for Synchronicity album. Andy Summers' Telecaster with custom wiring. Amp is the Roland JC-120, famous for its built-in chorus. No evidence of live rig or alternate guitars for this part. All evidence points to studio setup.

Difficulty

The riff requires advanced chord shapes, tight right-hand muting, and precise picking to maintain the clean, chorus-laden articulation that defines the song's sound.
