Notes
Studio recording, 2008. Gear confirmed for 'Sex On Fire' album session by producer Jacquire King. Multiple amps were used in the studio, but the Vox AC30 is most consistently cited for the clean riff section. No evidence of live/tour substitutions for the clean studio tone.

The riff requires tight, syncopated picking and clean note separation, but does not involve advanced techniques or high speed, making it accessible to intermediate players.
