Notes

Studio recording, 1991-1992. Guitar World and MixdownMag both confirm the Gretsch Chet Atkins Country Gentleman was used for the main riff on the studio recording of 'Friday I'm In Love.' Vox AC30 is cited as a primary amp for the Wish album era. No evidence of live/touring substitutions for the studio version.

Difficulty

The riff requires clean, even strumming and careful timing to blend with the chorus/flanger effects, but does not involve advanced techniques or fast passages.
