Notes

Studio recording, 2001-2002 era (Wonder What's Next sessions). No direct evidence for Peer, but this was Pete Loeffler's main rig for clean and heavy tones on the album. No evidence of alternate guitars or amps for clean sections.

Difficulty

The clean riff requires tight timing and muting for clarity, but uses straightforward fretting and picking patterns typical of early-2000s alt rock.
