Notes

Live performance, December 2007, Nokia Theatre, Los Angeles. Gear confirmed by concert photos and Equipboard for this specific song/section. No evidence of PRS Silver Sky (introduced post-2018) or Dumble SSS in this set. Pedalboard inferred from era and genre, with some effects audible in the live recording.

Difficulty

The riff requires intermediate skill due to its syncopated, Hendrix-inspired chord work, dynamic picking, and the need for touch-sensitive articulation. It is not technically advanced but demands rhythmic precision and expressive control.
