Notes

Studio recording, circa 1990 (from the album 'Still Got the Blues'). No direct evidence of pedals or effects for the riff section; most sources and Moore's known approach suggest minimal effects, amp-driven overdrive. Settings estimated based on genre, era, and Moore's typical rig. No evidence of live rig or alternate guitars for this section.

Difficulty

The riff is not technically complex but requires expressive phrasing, dynamic control, and a good sense of sustain and vibrato to capture the feel of Gary Moore's playing.
