Notes
Studio recording, 1989 (Junta album). Trey Anastasio's signature hollowbody Languedoc G2 with custom-wound humbuckers into a Mesa/Boogie Mark III head. Evidence from multiple rig rundowns and fan forums points to this setup for the original studio recording. No evidence of alternate guitars or amps for this section.

Difficulty
The riff section of 'The Divided Sky' is challenging due to its fast tempo, intricate chord changes, syncopated rhythms, and the need for precise dynamic control to maintain clarity and articulation.
