Notes

Studio recording, 1993-1994. Buckley used a rented Fender Vibroverb '63 Reissue from S.I.R. Studios for the 'Grace' album recording. The Telecaster had a unique, slightly out-of-phase wiring, contributing to the glassy, shimmery tone. No evidence of additional guitars or amps for the riff section of 'Grace'.

Difficulty

The riff requires advanced chord shapes, precise timing, and dynamic control to maintain clarity and articulation with a clean, reverberant tone. The unique Telecaster wiring and touch-sensitive playing make it challenging for most players.
