Notes
Studio recording, 1997 for the album 'All The Pain Money Can Buy'. Gear confirmed for Fastball's core sound in this era, but no direct studio photo for 'The Way' riff. No evidence of additional pedals or effects for the riff section.

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