Notes
Studio recording, 2005-2006 (First Impressions of Earth sessions). Both Valensi and Hammond used Fender Hot Rod Deville amps for the album. Hammond played a Stratocaster for the clean riff sections. No evidence of additional amps or alternate guitars for the clean riff in 'You Only Live Once'.

Difficulty
The riff requires precise alternate picking at a fast tempo and clean, consistent articulation, but does not involve complex chords or advanced techniques.
