Notes
Studio recording, 2011 (from debut album 'Wondervisions'). Guitar is plugged directly into a Panasonic RS-280 cassette player used as an amp. No evidence of traditional guitar amp used on this recording. Settings estimated due to lack of numeric data.

Difficulty
The riff requires accurate use of the Whammy pedal's octave-up setting, dynamic picking for expressive phrasing, and control to maintain clarity through a lo-fi amp setup. Intermediate skill is needed for pedal coordination and articulation.
