Notes

Studio recording, 2016. Nuno Bettencourt played the solo on the original studio version. No official rig rundown for this session, but Nuno has stated in interviews that he used his usual rig for Rihanna live and studio, which is typically a Suhr Custom guitar and Suhr PT100 amp. No evidence of pedalboard photos or explicit pedal models for this session.

Difficulty

The solo requires intermediate technique with expressive bends, smooth legato, and timing control to match the delay repeats, but does not involve advanced shredding or complex chord work.
