Notes

Studio recording, 2021 (Sob Rock album). Guitar confirmed as PRS Silver Sky for main riff. Amp likely Fender Deluxe Reverb or Princeton based on studio use and era; PRS J-MOD 100 also possible. Pedals confirmed for this era include Strymon Flint for reverb/tremolo and Klon-type overdrive. No evidence of Dumble or Two-Rock for this specific song/section.

Difficulty

The riff requires intermediate-level control of rhythm, muted strumming, and dynamic picking to achieve Mayer's signature touch-sensitive, articulate sound.
