Notes

Studio recording, 2005. Guitar is confirmed as a Jazzmaster or similar single-coil Fender (Bronco/Mustang also mentioned as alternatives, but Jazzmaster most likely for main riff). Amp is Selmer Twin 30, as confirmed by forum posts referencing photos from the era. Settings are inferred from forum discussions and typical usage for this amp and genre. No evidence of pedals used for the main riff in the studio recording.

Difficulty

The riff is straightforward and slow, requiring clean picking and dynamic control, but does not involve complex techniques or fast passages.
