Notes

Studio recording, 1987. The main riff is played on a Fender Bass VI through a Roland JC-120. There is also a double-tracked 12-string acoustic underneath, but the electric part is the focus for the riff. No evidence of live rig or alternate guitars for this section.

Difficulty

The riff is not technically demanding in terms of speed or advanced techniques, but requires precise picking, clean note separation, and tight timing with modulation effects for the signature sound.
