Notes

Studio recording, 2003 (album 'A Natural Disaster' released 2003). Guitarist Daniel Cavanagh is known for using a Fender Stratocaster and effects like the Line 6 M13 Stompbox Modeler for ambient/prog textures. No direct evidence of exact amp model or pedalboard for this specific recording. All gear and effects are based on best available evidence for the studio version of the riff section.

Difficulty

The riff requires clean playing with attention to dynamics and timing, plus effective use of delay/reverb/chorus for the ambient sound, but does not involve advanced technical challenges.
