Notes
Studio recording, 2013. Guitar and amp confirmed via Equipboard and Sound on Sound/producer James Ford. Clean tone section (riff/verse) likely used minimal gain and relied on amp's natural clean headroom. No evidence of live rig or alternate gear for this section.

Difficulty
The riff is rhythmically tight and requires good muting and timing, but uses straightforward fretting and picking, making it accessible to most players with some experience.
