Live performance, 'En Vivo' version from 'El Último Concierto' tour (1997). Guitar and amp inferred from period-correct live photos and rig rundowns; pedalboard confirmed for this era.

Difficulty

The riff requires intermediate skill due to the use of expressive wah pedal sweeps, maintaining clarity through heavy fuzz/modulation, and dynamic picking to articulate the part in a dense live mix.
