Notes

Studio recording, 2001-2002 (album: 'Lenny'). Multiple sources confirm Kravitz used the Line 6 Flextone Plus for studio work around this era, including 'Again' and other tracks from the same sessions. No evidence of live rig or alternate amp for this specific song/section.

Difficulty

The riff is moderately challenging due to its syncopated rhythm and need for dynamic control, but does not require advanced techniques or fast playing.
