Notes

Studio recording for 'Heaven' (1983-1984). Guitarist Keith Scott used a '63 Stratocaster and a Vox AC30 in the studio. No evidence of pedal use for the main riff; all effects likely from amp or post-processing. Gear confirmed for studio by direct interview and rig rundown. No evidence of alternate guitars or amps for this section.

Difficulty

The riff requires accurate palm muting and dynamic picking to maintain clarity and articulation, but does not involve advanced techniques or fast tempo.
