Notes

Live performance with San Francisco Symphony (S&M2, 2019/2020 era). Guitar and amp confirmed for live S&M2 era. Clean section uses bridge pickup, guitar volume rolled back. No explicit pedalboard photos for clean section, but chorus is clearly audible in the clean riff. No evidence of heavy gain/distortion pedals in clean section.

Difficulty

The clean riff requires intermediate-level picking accuracy, string muting, and dynamic control to maintain clarity and articulation, but does not involve advanced techniques or high speed.
