Notes
Studio recording, 2005-2006 (for 'In Between Dreams' album). Evidence from Equipboard and Guitar World confirms ES-335 and Fender Twin Reverb as primary electric setup for this era and song. No evidence of acoustic for main riff; ES-335 is visible in live and studio contexts for this track.

Difficulty
The riff requires steady fingerstyle strumming with muted notes and dynamic control, but uses basic open chord shapes and moderate tempo, making it accessible to most players with some fingerstyle experience.
