Notes
Studio recording, 2001. Mike Einziger used a PRS CE24 into a Mesa/Boogie Trem-O-Verb for the heavy riff sections on 'Wish You Were Here'. Effects chain included fuzz/distortion, phaser, and delay. Settings estimated based on era, genre, and typical usage; no direct numeric settings found in sources.

Difficulty
The riff is rhythmically straightforward but requires tight timing and control of a saturated, effect-heavy tone. Palm muting and dynamic picking are important for clarity.
