Notes

Studio recording, 1993-1994. Noel Hogan is confirmed to have used a Telecaster and Vox AC30 for early Cranberries recordings. Chorus pedal is a key part of the clean tone. No evidence of additional pedals or amp distortion for the clean riff section.

Difficulty

The riff is built on simple open chords and a steady strumming pattern, with the main challenge being consistent timing and dynamic control for the atmospheric clean sound.
