Notes

Studio recording, late 1990s. Buckley typically used the Vibroverb for clean and edge-of-breakup tones in the studio, with reverb dialed up. Mesa/Boogie Dual Rectifier was used for higher gain, but for the riff section of 'Witches' Rave', the Vibroverb is most likely. No evidence of live-specific gear for this recording.

Difficulty

The riff requires intermediate-level technique due to syncopated chord changes, dynamic touch for expressive tone, and careful control of reverb and amp breakup.
