Notes

Studio recording for 'Romance' album, 2023-2024. Riff section features layered acoustic and overdriven electric guitar. Main electric tone is Stratocaster into a vintage Fender Princeton Reverb. Pedalboard is extensive but most effects are used for flavor, not main riff. Main riff tone is amp-driven with reverb, possibly with additional reverb pedal. No evidence of chorus, delay, or modulation on riff section.

Difficulty

The riff requires solid rhythmic control and dynamic picking but does not involve advanced techniques or fast tempo, making it accessible to intermediate players.
