Playing tips

  • Use your amp's built-in reverb set to a moderate level to recreate the spacious feel of the original tone.
  • Play with a light touch to maintain the articulate, bell-like attack characteristic of the original riff.
  • Ensure to avoid palm muting or heavy picking to preserve the clarity and chime of the 12-string sound.
