Notes
Studio recording, 1988-1989. For the riff section of 'I Remember You', Dave Sabo is seen using a Gibson SJ-200 acoustic in the Gibson Riff Lords series, and this matches the acoustic sound on the studio recording. No evidence of electric guitar or amp for the main riff section.

Difficulty
While the riff is not technically complex, it requires clean acoustic technique, dynamic control, and expressive strumming to match the recorded tone.
