Notes

Studio recording for 'Crazy World' album (1989-1990); clean tone for riff/verse section. No direct evidence of pedals or alternate amp for clean, but Strat + Marshall clean is standard for Scorpions' ballads of this era.

Difficulty

The riff requires clean, accurate picking and chord changes, but is not technically demanding. The main challenge is maintaining clarity and dynamics for the clean tone.
