Notes

Studio recording, 1991. All sources confirm this rig for the No More Tears album. Clean tone achieved by rolling back amp gain and guitar volume, pedals off except chorus. Chorus pedal (Boss CH-1) is always on for added body and subtle modulation. No wah, overdrive, or delay used in clean sections. Pickup position inferred as neck or both for warmth.

Difficulty

The clean riff requires precise picking and muting to maintain clarity, but does not involve advanced techniques or fast tempo, making it accessible to intermediate players.
