Notes
Studio recording, 2010-2011. Gear confirmed for Nick Valensi and Albert Hammond Jr. on Angles album sessions. Riviera with P-94s is the main clean guitar for the riff section. No evidence of pedals in clean sections; overdrive pedals are used for distorted parts only.

Difficulty
The riff requires tight, syncopated rhythm and clean, articulate picking, but does not involve advanced techniques or fast tempo, making it accessible to intermediate players.
