Notes

Studio recording, year 2000. No direct source confirms exact amp for clean, but Mesa/Boogie Dual Rectifier is widely cited as Carl Bell's main studio amp for this album. No evidence of alternate guitar for clean section; Les Paul Standard is most documented. Settings estimated based on typical Dual Rectifier clean channel use for modern rock in this era.

Difficulty

The clean riff requires accurate arpeggiation and dynamic control to maintain clarity and avoid unwanted noise, but does not involve advanced techniques or fast tempo.
