Notes

Studio recording, 2000 (Chocolate Starfish era). Clean tone likely from Dual Rectifier's clean channel. Guitar Chalk and multiple sources confirm PRS CE 24 and Mesa/Boogie Dual Rectifier as Borland's main studio gear for this album. Ibanez RG7 also possible, but PRS CE 24 is most cited for clean sections.

Difficulty

The clean riff requires tight, syncopated picking and precise timing to match the delay repeats, but does not involve advanced techniques or fast tempos.
