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 percussive fingerstyle attack to capture the intimate and dynamic character of the riff.
- Experiment with the neck pickup for a warmer, more resonant tone that aligns with the original's metallic shimmer.
