Notes

Studio recording, 2012 (Babel album). All available evidence and audio point to an acoustic guitar (Martin D-28 or similar), likely DI or through an acoustic preamp. No evidence of electric guitar or traditional amp/pedalboard for the main riff section. Live performances may use different gear, but this is for the studio version.

Difficulty

The riff requires fast, energetic strumming with consistent timing and dynamic control, but uses basic open chords and no advanced techniques.
