Notes

Studio recording, 1991 (Pocket Full of Kryptonite sessions). Eric Schenkman confirmed use of the Pensa-Suhr Stratocaster and '61 Tremolux amp specifically on 'Two Princes' riff. No evidence of pedals or additional effects in the riff section; all sources point to a straight guitar-to-amp setup for the main riff.

Difficulty

The riff requires tight, syncopated funk/rock strumming at a fast tempo with clean articulation and dynamic control, but does not involve advanced lead techniques or complex chord voicings.
