Notes
Studio recording, 2020s. All available sources and chord/tab sites indicate this is a clean, acoustic guitar part with no electric guitar or amp. No evidence of live rig or electric setup for the clean riff section.

Difficulty
The riff section uses basic open chords with a capo and a straightforward strumming pattern, making it accessible for beginners, though soft dynamic control is needed for the right feel.
