Notes

Studio recording for 'Love Song' (311 cover, released 2004 on '50 First Dates' soundtrack). Tim Mahoney is known to use PRS guitars and Mesa/Boogie Dual Rectifier amps for studio recordings in this era. No direct studio photo for this song, but all available interviews and rig rundowns from this period confirm this pairing. No evidence of alternate guitars or amps for this specific riff section.

Difficulty

The riff requires clean, syncopated picking and precise timing with modulation and delay effects, but does not involve advanced techniques or high speed.
