Notes

Studio recording, 1997 (My Own Prison album). Clean tone sections use the same PRS/Mesa setup as the rest of the album, but with amp set for clean channel and low gain. No evidence of alternate guitars or amps for clean sections. No official studio notes found for 'Torn' specifically, but all credible sources agree on PRS/Mesa for Creed's 90s studio work.

Difficulty

The riff is accessible to intermediate players but requires clean, controlled picking and dynamic sensitivity to maintain clarity and articulation in the clean tone.
