Notes
Live recording, 2019 era, used for riff/chorus sections; Hillsong United's signature ambient/overdriven sound. Guitar and amp inferred from Equipboard and band interviews for this era and song. No explicit pedalboard photo for this exact performance, but gear is consistent across 2019 live shows.

Difficulty
The riff requires tight rhythmic accuracy to sync with delay repeats and dynamic picking for ambient swells, but does not involve advanced lead techniques or fast runs.
