Notes

Studio recording, 1996. No explicit confirmation of exact guitar/amp in sources, but Telecaster and Fender Twin are standard for 90s Nashville country sessions. No evidence of alternate guitars or amps for the riff section. All gear references to Taylor acoustic or live setups are for covers/lessons, not the original recording.

Difficulty

The riff requires tight palm muting and dynamic strumming at a fast tempo, but uses simple open and barre chords without advanced techniques.
