Notes

Studio recording for 'El Camino' (2011). Guitar: 1954 Fender Stratocaster, bridge pickup. Amp: Ampeg V-2 with a JBL D-130 speaker (noted as blown on the recording). Boss PS-5 Super Shifter pedal used for riff. No evidence of fuzz or other pedals on riff section. Settings estimated based on amp type and genre as no explicit numbers found.

Difficulty

The riff requires intermediate skill due to the coordination of foot-controlled pitch shifting with the Boss PS-5, maintaining timing and clarity at a fast tempo, and delivering a consistent, percussive pick attack.
