Notes

Studio recording, 1986 album 'Dois'. Guitarist Dado Villa-Lobos is known to have used a Fender Vintage Series '57 Stratocaster and Giannini Duovox 100B amp for clean tones in this era. No evidence of pedal use for clean riff section; distortion pedals (Marshall ShredMaster) were used for heavier sections, not clean parts.

Difficulty

The riff requires clean, articulate picking and dynamic control to maintain clarity and expression, but does not involve advanced techniques or fast passages.
