Notes
Studio recording, 2002 (A Rush of Blood to the Head). Guitar and amp confirmed for this era and song by Equipboard and Ultimate Guitar forum. No evidence of alternate guitars or amps for the riff section. Pedals inferred from era and sources; some ambiguity remains on exact pedal models.

Difficulty
The riff requires accurate rhythmic picking and timing to match the delay repeats, but uses straightforward chord shapes and moderate tempo, making it accessible to intermediate players.
