Notes
Studio recording for 'Yield' (1997); Stone Gossard played the main riff; classic Marshall amp with humbucker-equipped Les Paul; settings and gear inferred from Guitar World lesson and era-appropriate interviews. No evidence of pedals or unusual effects in the riff section.

The riff is based on simple chord shapes and relaxed strumming, but requires good timing and dynamic control to capture the meditative, percussive feel.
