Notes
Studio recording for 'She Found Now' from the 2013 album 'm b v'. Gear confirmed for the album era; pedalboard photo evidence and multiple sources confirm Jazzmaster and Marshall JCM800 as Shields' main studio rig for this period. No evidence of live-specific gear for this song's riff section.

Difficulty
The riff requires intermediate technique due to the constant use of the tremolo bar for vibrato, precise control of dynamics, and integrating effects for the signature shoegaze sound.
