Notes
Studio recording, 2017. Steve Lacy recorded the riff section for 'PRIDE.' directly into his iPhone 6 using GarageBand, with no traditional amp or pedalboard. All effects and amp tones are from GarageBand amp/effects sims. No evidence of live performance rig for this song section.

Difficulty
The riff is moderately challenging due to its syncopated rhythm and need for clean, articulate playing, but does not require advanced techniques or fast playing.
