Notes
Studio recording, 2004. Guitar is a Telecaster HH with Seymour Duncan JB in bridge, wired straight to volume. No explicit amp model or pedal info for clean section found. Live rig in later years uses Fractal/Axe-Fx, but this is not relevant for 2004 studio recording.

Difficulty
The clean riff requires tight, syncopated picking and clear note separation, but uses straightforward chord shapes and moderate tempo, making it accessible to intermediate players.
