Notes
Live performance, 2012 Backyard Sessions. Miley Cyrus is seen playing a red, sparkly Gibson J-29 acoustic guitar with no visible pickguard. No evidence of electric guitar amps or traditional pedalboard; likely direct to PA or through a simple DI box.

The riff requires intermediate fingerstyle (Travis picking) and dynamic control, but does not involve advanced chord shapes or high speed, making it accessible to intermediate players.
