Playing tips

  • Use your amp's built-in reverb set to a moderate level to recreate the subtle ambience of the original tone.
  • Play with a light touch to maintain the articulate, bell-like attack characteristic of the riff.
  • Ensure your guitar volume is set high enough to avoid losing clarity in the clean tone.
