Notes

Studio recording, circa 2006 (Ahí Vamos album). Gear confirmed for era and artist, but not explicitly tied to 'Av. Alcorta' in studio. PRS Multi-Foil is visually confirmed as Cerati's main guitar for this period. Bogner Ecstasy and Uberkab are listed as his main amp/cabinet in 2009 touring rig, likely used in studio as well.

Difficulty

The riff requires tight rhythmic precision, dynamic control, and clean articulation, but does not involve advanced lead techniques or extreme speed.
