Notes

Studio recording, 1995 (album 'Los Tres'). Guitar confirmed from music video and Equipboard. No explicit amp or pedalboard photo from studio session. No evidence of effects pedals for riff section; likely straight into amp. Settings estimated based on genre, era, and typical gear for Latin alternative rock in 1990s Chile.

Difficulty

The riff requires tight rhythmic control, fast chord changes, and dynamic picking to achieve the punchy, articulate sound. While not technically virtuosic, the combination of speed, muting, and articulation makes it challenging for intermediate players.
