Notes
Studio recording, 1986. Amp used was the vibrato channel, input 1. The midrange was modified to sound like it's at 10 (normally fixed at 3 on stock Deluxe Reverb). Scholz Rockman (Edge setting, Chorus Off) was also in the chain. Recorded at Capitol Studio B, Hollywood.

The riff requires clean, precise picking and rhythmic accuracy typical of country guitar, but does not involve advanced techniques or high speed.
