Notes

Studio recording, 1998 (Pilgrim album). Clapton used his signature Strat with Lace Sensors and mid-boost circuit for this era and song. Amp is inferred from era and known studio/live use; no evidence of other amps for this track. No evidence of pedal use for the riff section; mid-boost circuit provides extra gain.

Difficulty

The riff requires intermediate control of dynamics and tone, with careful use of the guitar's mid-boost and tone knob to achieve the signature 'woman tone' and sustain, but does not involve advanced technical challenges.
