Notes
Studio recording, released 2005 (B-Sides & Rarities). Gear based on Premier Guitar rig rundown and typical Deftones studio setups for covers in this period. No direct studio session details for this specific song, but Sovtek MiG 100 and ESP Stef B-7 with EMG pickups are most probable. No evidence of live-specific gear for this track.

Difficulty
The riff is not technically demanding but requires precise chord voicings, dynamic control to maintain the clean/edge-of-breakup tone, and sensitivity to ambient effects for the lush sound.
