Notes

Studio recording, 1993. Amp was the vibrato channel, input 1. No pedals used for the riff. Scholz Rockman (Edge setting, Chorus Off) was part of Anderson's rig for some tracks, but not confirmed for this riff. Amp was mic'd with Shure SM-57 into Neve 1073 preamp. Custom string gauge (.009-.052), pick: Jim Dunlop Standard red nylon 1.0mm. Picking close to bridge, backwards pick grip.

Difficulty

The riff requires fast, clean picking with precise right-hand technique and articulation, typical of modern country guitar. While not extremely technical, the tempo and clarity demand intermediate skill.
