Notes
Studio recording, 2006 (Black Holes and Revelations album). No direct evidence for clean section gear in sources, but Matt Bellamy is widely documented using the Manson MB-1 and Diezel VH4 for this era in studio. No evidence of alternate guitar/amp for clean riff section.

Difficulty
The clean riff requires tight timing and clear articulation, but uses straightforward chord shapes and moderate tempo, making it accessible to intermediate players.
