Notes

Gear confirmed via pedalboard and amp photos from Equipboard and community sources. No direct studio session notes, but this is the rig associated with Chris Fifield for LSD and the Search for God during the era of the 'Starting Over' recording (late 2000s). Settings estimated for clean section; no explicit studio vs live differentiation found.

Difficulty

The riff requires intermediate skill due to the use of modulation effects, glide technique with the tremolo bar, and maintaining clarity in layered, ambient chord voicings.
