Notes

Studio recording for 'Look For the Good' (2020). Molly Miller, Jason Mraz's guitarist, is confirmed to use a Gibson ES-335 into a Fender Princeton Reverb for both live and studio work on this album. No pedals are used for the riff section; guitar goes straight into the amp. No evidence of additional effects or pedals for the riff section.

The riff requires tight, syncopated reggae rhythm playing with clean chord voicings and dynamic muting, but does not involve advanced techniques or fast passages.
