Notes
Studio recording, 2000 (Lift Your Skinny Fists Like Antennas to Heaven sessions). No direct studio documentation found for exact gear; Godspeed You! Black Emperor are known for using Godin guitars and Fender amps live in this era. Clean section is the focus.

The riff is not technically demanding in terms of speed or complex fingering, but requires careful control of dynamics, effects, and layering for the ambient post-rock sound.
