Notes

Studio recording, 1984. Cerati is confirmed to have used a Music Man 212 HD 130 amp on the debut album. Guitar is a Fender Stratocaster with single-coil pickups. No evidence of pedal use for the riff section; effects are likely from the amp. Settings estimated based on typical usage for this genre/era/amp.

Difficulty

The riff is based on clean arpeggiated picking with a soft dynamic touch and requires control over string clarity and timing, but does not involve advanced techniques or fast passages.
