Notes
Studio recording, 1993 (Jar of Flies sessions). Jerry Cantrell is known to have used a black Les Paul Custom and Marshall/Bogner-modded amps for clean and edge-of-breakup tones on this EP. No evidence of live or alternate gear for the clean riff section.

Difficulty
The riff is slow and uses simple chord shapes, but requires clean playing and dynamic control to match the studio tone.
