Notes

Studio recording, 2004 (Funeral album). No direct evidence for exact guitar or amp model used on the studio version of 'Neighborhood #1 (Tunnels)' riff section. Pedalboard photos from the era show Boss RV-3 Digital Reverb/Delay and MXR Micro Amp in use by Richard Parry, but not explicitly tied to this specific recording.

Difficulty

The riff requires clean, consistent arpeggios and dynamic control to maintain clarity with ambient effects, but does not involve advanced techniques or fast passages.
