Summers based his riff on his trademark moveable add9 chord shape. Luckily, the shape stays the same throughout the sequence, so once you’ve mastered the initial stretch your hand shape stays the same as you move into each new position. The watery shimmer comes courtesy of an Electro‑harmonix Electric Mistress flanger and Summers’ ’63 humbucker‑loaded Telecaster.
