Notes

Studio recording, 2010 album 'Audio Secrecy'. No direct source confirms the exact clean amp, but Mesa/Boogie Dual Rectifier is widely documented as Josh Rand's main studio amp for this era. PRS Custom 24 is his primary guitar for recording. Settings estimated based on typical Mesa clean channel use in modern rock. No evidence of live rig or alternate guitars for clean section.

Difficulty

The clean riff requires tight, syncopated picking and precise chord transitions, but does not involve advanced techniques or high speed, making it accessible to intermediate players.
