Notes

Live performance, 2009 (Fuerza Natural Tour, En Vivo en Monterrey). Cerati used the G&L ASAT Classic and the Line 6 POD XT Live as his main rig for this era. No evidence of a traditional tube amp on stage for this song; amp tones and effects were processed via the POD XT Live.

Difficulty

The riff requires intermediate skill due to its syncopated rhythm, need for dynamic control, and clean articulation, but does not involve advanced lead techniques or fast alternate picking.
