Notes

Live performance, 2010s era. Gear inferred from multiple sources on Hillsong United's live rig; no direct evidence for the exact Spanish lineup, but the sound and era match the core Hillsong United setup. No evidence of alternate guitars or amps for this song/section.

Difficulty

The riff requires intermediate skill due to syncopated melodic lines, precise chord changes, and the need to control dynamics for a clear, ambient sound.
