Notes

Studio recording, 2014 (La Gárgola album). Pete Loeffler is confirmed to use Mesa/Boogie Mark IV for both live and studio. Guitar model is not explicitly confirmed for 'Twinge' riff, but PRS Custom 24 is his main studio guitar for this era. No evidence of alternate guitars for this track's riff section.

Difficulty

The riff is not technically complex but requires careful dynamic control and clean playing to maintain clarity and mood under heavy reverb and ambient production.
