Notes

Studio recording, 1990. Gear confirmed for 'De Música Ligera' riff section via Equipboard. No evidence of pedal use for clean tone; focus is on the clean, jangly intro/riff. No evidence of additional effects beyond amp reverb. Pickup selector likely in middle position to combine both pickups for characteristic chime.

Difficulty

The riff requires accurate 12-string chord shapes and steady, clean strumming to achieve the signature chime, but does not involve advanced techniques or fast tempo.
