Notes

Studio recording, 2012. The main riff is played on a Gibson J-45 acoustic guitar, mic'd directly in the studio. No electric guitar, amp, or pedals are used for the riff section. All available video lessons and covers confirm acoustic guitar for the riff. No evidence of electric guitar or effects in the studio version.

Difficulty

The riff is based on fast, steady acoustic strumming with open chords and requires good timing and dynamic control, but no advanced techniques or complex fingerings.
