Notes

Studio recording, 2016 (To Be Everywhere Is to Be Nowhere). Guitar and amp confirmed by multiple sources for this era and song. Settings estimated based on typical AC30 use for modern Thrice tones and genre. No explicit studio pedalboard photo for this song, but chorus and reverb are clearly audible and supported by forum and rig rundown evidence.

Difficulty

The riff requires careful timing and dynamic control to maintain clarity with lush ambient effects, but does not involve advanced technical techniques or fast passages.
