Notes

Studio recording for 'Sugar Skulls' (riff section), from the 2010 album 'Lowcountry'. Guitarist Brian Byrne stated the Gretsch Sparkle Jet and a vintage Fender Twin were used for most of the album's tones, aiming for a warm, swampy sound. The Sommatone amp was used for crunchier British tones, but the main riff is described as warm and swampy, indicating the Gretsch/Fender Twin pairing was used here.

Difficulty

The riff requires tight rhythmic control, dynamic picking, and precise chord changes, making it moderately challenging for intermediate players.
