Notes

Studio recording, 1991. Marty Stuart is confirmed to have used his 'Clarence' Telecaster and a Silverface Deluxe Reverb (SIR rental, modded for more growl) for the clean riff sections. Pedal use is minimal, with a Radial PB-1 boost and MXR EQ sometimes present, but for clean rhythm, mostly straight into amp. No evidence of compression or slapback delay on this track's clean riff. Onboard amp spring reverb is used. All sources point to the studio rig, not live.

Difficulty

The riff requires accurate picking and dynamic control to achieve the signature clean, twangy country sound, but does not involve advanced techniques or fast passages.
