Notes

Studio recording, 1998. Guitar is Takamine EF341SC acoustic-electric, strung with only 5 strings (high E removed), tuned BDDDD. Pickup is Takamine's Palathetic undersaddle piezo. Amp is not confirmed; likely direct input or clean Fender-style amp. No evidence of electric guitar on main clean riff in studio version.

Difficulty

The main riff is technically simple but requires retuning, removing a string, and mastering the droning open-string voicings for the signature sound.
