Notes
Studio recording, 1990. Multiple guitars were used by Lee Mavers in this era, but the Jazzmaster is most associated with the jangly, bright riff tone on the original studio version. No evidence of pedals or effects other than possible amp spring reverb. No evidence of live rig for this section.

The riff requires precise alternate picking and rhythmic accuracy to maintain the bright, jangly tone, but does not involve advanced techniques or complex chord shapes.
