Notes

Live performance, 2006-2008 era. No direct evidence for exact guitar/amp model for this specific recording, but Fender Stratocaster into a clean Fender tube amp is the documented standard for Hillsong Worship clean tones in this period. No evidence of amp model or guitar change for this riff section. Settings estimated based on genre, era, and typical worship guitar rigs.

Difficulty

The riff is based on simple open and barre chords with a clean, ambient sound. The main challenge is maintaining even dynamics and timing to match the delay repeats and keep the part sounding lush and consistent.
