Notes

Studio recording, 1995 Cutterpillow album. All gear and settings are for the original studio recording, not live. No evidence of distortion/overdrive pedal in the riff section; all drive comes from amp and playing dynamics. Pickup selector set to neck + middle (position 2).

Difficulty

The riff requires tight rhythmic accuracy and dynamic control to maintain the edge-of-breakup tone and make the most of the chorus effect, but does not involve advanced lead or technical techniques.
