Notes

Studio recording, 2016; evidence from Neural DSP plugin and multiple rig rundowns confirms Two-Rock Signature amp and PRS Silver Sky as main studio gear for this era. No evidence of alternate guitars or amps for the riff section. Pedals and effects inferred from pedalboard photos and plugin captures.

Difficulty

The riff requires intermediate-level rhythmic precision, dynamic control to manage the edge-of-breakup tone, and clean muting for Mayer's percussive style.
