Studio recording, 2006 (Continuum album). Guitar and amp confirmed for studio use on this song/era. Pedals and effects inferred from multiple sources and audible effects on the recording. No evidence of live/tour substitutions for the original studio riff section.

Difficulty
The riff requires intermediate technique due to its syncopated, funky rhythm, dynamic fingerstyle/hybrid picking, and precise articulation to control the envelope filter effect. It is challenging for beginners but manageable for intermediate players with some experience in funk/blues rhythm.
