Notes

Live performance from Pulse (1994/1995), not studio. Guitar is a '57 Vintage Reissue Strat with EMG-SA pickups and EMG electronics. Amp is Hiwatt DR103. Effects include rotary/chorus for the riff. No evidence of fuzz/distortion for the riff section. Settings estimated based on typical Gilmour live rig for this era.

Difficulty

The riff is technically straightforward but demands precise dynamic control, smooth chord transitions, and a sensitive touch to maintain the atmospheric, clean tone.
