Notes
Studio recording, 1994-1995. Gear confirmed for 'Frogstomp' album sessions, but no explicit source for clean section of 'Shade'. No evidence of alternate guitar/amp for clean parts; likely same Les Paul and Soldano amp with clean channel or rolled-back gain.

Difficulty
The riff requires clean, articulate chord playing with careful dynamics and picking accuracy, but no advanced techniques or fast passages.
