Notes

Studio recording, 1999, for 'There Is Nothing Left To Lose'. Dave Grohl primarily used his red 1966 Gibson Trini Lopez through a Vox AC30 for clean tones in the studio. No evidence of pedal use for clean sections; amp reverb likely used. Pickup selector likely in middle or neck position for clean passages.

Difficulty

The riff requires clean, articulate strumming and chord changes, but no advanced techniques or fast passages, making it accessible to most players with basic rhythm skills.
