Notes

Studio recording for 'The Better Life' (2000). Guitar Chalk and other sources confirm Les Paul and Mesa Dual Rec as primary studio gear for Chris Henderson on this track. Settings and pedal use are based on studio recommendations, not live rigs.

Difficulty

The riff requires solid palm muting, tight rhythm, and dynamic control, but does not involve advanced lead techniques or complex chord voicings.
