Playing tips
- Use your amp's built-in reverb set to a moderate level to recreate the intimate room feel of the original tone.
- Set the delay to a low level to add a subtle echo effect, enhancing the percussive strumming.
- Strum with a light but consistent attack to maintain the clean, percussive sound characteristic of the original riff.
