Notes
Studio recording, 2009-2010, clean intro/riff section. Guitarist Taylor York is seen using a Fender Jaguar for clean parts in this era. No evidence of Les Paul or Marshall for this section. Settings estimated based on typical Jaguar → AC30 clean studio setup for this genre/era.

The riff section is beginner-friendly, using simple open chords and slow, even strumming or fingerpicking. The main challenge is maintaining a soft, even dynamic and clean articulation.
