Notes

Live performance at Cabaret Metro, Chicago, IL, May 13, 1995. Buckley used the Rickenbacker 360/12 for this song in open G tuning, running into a Mesa/Boogie Dual Rectifier Trem-O-Verb for overdrive. Effects include Alesis Quadraverb for reverb and ambience. No evidence of additional pedals for the riff section.

Difficulty

The riff requires intermediate skill due to the use of open G tuning on a 12-string, precise chord voicings, and dynamic picking to maintain clarity and articulation in a live setting.
