Notes
Studio recording for 'Kiss a Girl' (2009, Defying Gravity album). Clean riff section. No evidence of live rig or alternate guitars for this part. Effects (delay, reverb, modulation) handled post-amp in studio via Fractal Axe-Fx II. Guitar likely on neck or middle position for clean tone.

The riff requires clean, accurate picking and rhythmic precision, but does not involve advanced techniques or fast tempo, making it accessible to intermediate players.
