Notes

Studio recording, 1993. Sources indicate Buddy Guy used his signature Stratocaster and signature Chicago Blues Box amp for the 'Feels Like Rain' album. Amp is modeled after a vintage Fender Bassman. No explicit mention of pedals or effects for this specific recording. Known for turning amp up full except for bass, which is reduced.

Difficulty

The riff requires expressive blues phrasing, dynamic control, and subtlety in touch to achieve the edge-of-breakup tone, but does not involve advanced technical challenges.
