Notes
Studio recording, 1993. Clean tone for riff section. No evidence of alternate guitars or amps for this section. Vibroverb is confirmed for Grace-era studio sessions; Telecaster is Buckley's main studio guitar for this period.

Difficulty
The riff requires intermediate-to-advanced technique due to Buckley's use of extended chords, expressive dynamics, and nuanced picking, but does not involve fast runs or extreme technicality.
