Notes

Studio recording (1996). Scott Lucas used a custom Telecaster with a split signal for bass and guitar, but the clean guitar tone is from the standard Telecaster single-coil pickup into a Vox AC15 combo amp. The Matchless Super Chief and Marshall cabs were also part of his rig, but the Vox AC15 is specifically referenced for clean tones. No evidence of pedals or effects used for the clean section.

Difficulty

The riff requires tight, syncopated strumming and clean articulation, but does not involve advanced techniques or fast tempo, making it accessible to most players with some rhythm experience.
