Notes

Studio recording, 1991 (The Soul Cages album). No direct evidence for exact guitar/amp model for this song's riff, but period-correct gear and genre context strongly suggest Stratocaster into a clean Fender-style amp. No evidence of live/tour rig for this song's riff. No evidence of pedals used in the riff section.

Difficulty

The riff requires moderate technical skill due to syncopated rhythm and dynamic control, but does not involve advanced techniques or fast passages.
