Notes

Studio recording, circa 2003 (from 'On and On' album). Guild D-40 confirmed in music video and multiple gear rundowns for 'Wasting Time' riff. No evidence of electric guitar on riff section; all sources and isolated tracks confirm acoustic. Amp is inferred from typical Jack Johnson studio/live setup for this era, with Fishman Loudbox Performer or similar acoustic amp/DI. No evidence of electric amp or electric guitar for the riff section.

Difficulty

The riff requires moderate skill in acoustic strumming and fingerstyle transitions, with attention to groove and dynamics, but does not involve complex chords or advanced techniques.
