Notes

Studio recording, 2016. Maestro Rhythm 'N Sound G-2 multi-effect unit used for wah/fuzz on intro and outro, but for the riff section, sources and audio indicate auto-wah/envelope filter and clean amp. No evidence of live-specific gear for the riff. No evidence of other pedals in the riff section.

Difficulty

The riff requires intermediate-level funk rhythm skills, tight timing, and dynamic control to trigger the auto-wah/envelope filter expressively.
