Notes

Studio recording, 1984. Guitarist for the riff is Keith Scott. Guitar is a vintage Stratocaster with single-coil pickups. Amp is inferred as Marshall JCM800 based on era, genre, and typical rig for Keith Scott. No direct studio documentation found for exact amp, but live and era evidence points to this setup.

Difficulty

The riff requires clean, syncopated picking and tight muting to maintain clarity with the chorus effect. While not technically advanced, it demands good timing and dynamic control to achieve the signature 80s clean sound.
