Notes

Studio recording for 'Riverman' riff, 2014/2015, as confirmed by multiple interviews and gear rundowns for 'Chasing Yesterday'. Nash '63 Stratocaster was stated by Noel to be 'all over the record.' Amp confirmed as Blackface Deluxe Reverb for studio; not live. No evidence of alternate guitars or amps for this section.

Difficulty

The riff requires clean, precise playing with dynamic control to maintain the edge-of-breakup tone, but does not involve advanced techniques or fast passages.
