Notes

Live performance (2008-2010 era); Nigel Hendroff is known to use Stratocasters with single-coil pickups for clean ambient tones. For 'With Everything (Live)', Helix/Fractal/Quad Cortex presets are used to emulate stereo AC30s. No direct evidence of a different guitar/amp for the clean riff section. Studio version may use similar gear but this is for the live version.

Difficulty

The riff requires clean, even playing with precise timing to blend with stereo delays and reverb, but does not involve complex picking or advanced techniques.
