Notes

Studio recording, 1981. John McGeoch is seen playing the Ovation 1618 12-string in the official video for 'Spellbound' and is documented using a Fender Twin Reverb during this era. No evidence of a Yamaha SG or Les Paul for the riff section on this recording.

Difficulty

The riff requires fast, even strumming on a 12-string, careful muting to avoid muddiness, and tight timing to lock in with the modulated effects, making it moderately challenging for intermediate players.
