Notes

Studio recording, likely tracked direct using the Simplifier mk2 as amp/cab sim; pedalboard based on 2023-2024 era. No direct evidence of traditional tube amp for this session. Gear list is inferred from Álvaro López's documented studio/live rig for this era, but no explicit photo/video from this specific recording session.

Difficulty

The riff requires intermediate skill due to syncopated rhythm, dynamic picking for touch-sensitive breakup, and clarity in chord voicings typical of semi-hollow guitars.
