Notes
Studio recording, 2007-2008. No direct evidence of electric guitar model or amp for the riff, but acoustic Gibson J-45 is confirmed for the album era. No pedalboard or amp photos for this specific song's riff section. No evidence of live rig for this part.

Difficulty
The riff is based on straightforward open chord strumming with a bright, lively feel. The main challenge is maintaining rhythmic consistency and dynamic energy, not technical complexity.
