Notes

Studio recording for 'The Red' (2002). Gear confirmed for era and album, but no explicit source for clean section gear. Loeffler is known to use PRS Custom 24 and Mesa/Boogie Dual Rectifier for this album. Clean tone likely from amp's clean channel with minimal gain. No evidence of alternate guitars or amps for clean sections.

Difficulty

The clean riff requires precise picking and dynamic control to maintain clarity and articulation, but does not involve advanced techniques or fast tempo.
