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 of the riff.
- Focus on clarity and avoid heavy picking to preserve the chimey quality of the 12-string sound.
