Notes
Live performance, circa 2007-2010. Gear confirmed by Premier Guitar Rig Rundown and Equipboard for live Sloe Gin performances. Clean tone for riff/verse section, not the solo. Amp is run clean with low gain for these sections.

The clean riff requires good dynamic control and smooth position shifts, but is not technically demanding in terms of speed or complex chord voicings.
