Notes
Studio recording, 2007-2008. No direct evidence for alternate guitars/amps for this riff. Brent Mason is the likely session guitarist, and his Tele/Fender Twin setup is well-documented for Alan Jackson's recordings of this era.

Difficulty
The riff requires fast, precise picking and classic country chicken pickin' technique, but is not harmonically complex. The main challenge is maintaining clarity and rhythmic tightness at a brisk tempo.
