Notes

Studio recording, circa 1998 (for 'Wander This World' album). Gear confirmed for this era and song by multiple sources. No evidence of alternate guitars or amps for the riff section. Pedalboard is consistent with studio/live use per interviews.

Difficulty

The riff requires intermediate-level blues rhythm skills, dynamic picking, and control of touch-sensitive amp breakup, but does not involve advanced lead techniques or complex chord voicings.
