No effects used for this tone

Notes

Studio recording, 1993-1994. Multiple sources (Equipboard, The Gear Page) confirm Dean DeLeo used a Telecaster and a small Supro combo for the clean riff on the original recording. No evidence of live rig (VHT/Demeter/Marshall) being used for this part in the studio. No pedals confirmed for clean section.

Difficulty

The riff requires intermediate skill due to syncopated chord shapes, clean articulation, and dynamic picking, but does not involve advanced soloing or fast runs.
