Studio recording for 'Last Train Home' (riff/clean section), 2021. Guitar World and Equipboard confirm PRS Silver Sky and Two-Rock amp for Sob Rock era studio work. Settings and effects are for the clean/riff section, not the solo/overdriven parts.

Difficulty

The riff requires intermediate-level control of muting, syncopation, and dynamic touch to maintain clarity and shimmer with the chorus effect.
