Notes

Studio recording, 2004-2005. Clean tone sections on 'Let Me Go' are likely tracked with the Roland JC-120 for its signature clean sound, as per band gear history and era. No direct evidence of alternate guitars or amps for clean sections on this song; PRS guitars and Mesa/Boogie amps were used live and for heavier tones, but Les Paul and JC-120 are most probable for studio clean riff.

Difficulty

The riff requires clean, syncopated picking with chorus shimmer and careful muting to maintain clarity, but does not involve advanced techniques or fast tempo.
