Notes

Studio recording, 1995. Guitarist Ross Childress played the clean riff section on a Gibson Les Paul Standard into a Marshall JCM900. No evidence of live rig or alternate guitars for this section. Settings and effects are based on studio context and era-typical gear. No evidence of chorus or modulation; clean tone is achieved with low amp gain and moderate reverb.

Difficulty

The riff requires clean, open chord voicings and soft, controlled picking for clarity and dynamics, but does not involve advanced techniques or fast playing.
