Notes

Studio recording, 2005 (for Mary J. Blige's 'One' feat. U2). Guitar and amp choice based on The Edge's documented studio rig for distorted tones in this era. No evidence of alternate guitars/amps for this specific track. Settings inferred from The Edge's typical approach to heavy/chorus sections in U2 collaborations.

Difficulty

The riff requires tight rhythmic playing to lock with the delay repeats and dynamic control for clarity, but the chord shapes and picking are straightforward.
