Notes

Studio recording, 1992. Multiple sources mention Stratocaster into a Vox AC30 for the main riff. Some references to Matchless HC-30 and Marshall JMP 2203 in the band's general gear, but Strat + AC30 is specifically cited for 'Hey Jealousy' riff. Overdrive pedal (Crowther Hotcake or Tube Screamer) likely used. No evidence of chorus, delay, or modulation effects on the riff section.

Difficulty

The riff requires tight, syncopated strumming and clean chord transitions at a moderate tempo, but does not involve advanced techniques or fast lead work.
