There are two guitars in the song, a left channelled and a right channelled, both clean electric. The left guitar repeats three different riffs through the song as rhythm. The right guitar switches between chords and a few small riffs near the end. [Guitar L] (These parts recur in this order, but the number of times each part repeats varies)
