Pickups

Strat-style single coils (inferred from her typical clean platform and later triple-single-coil preference) (inferred) (neck+middle)

Tuning

Alternate/open tuning typical of Covet-era repertoire (exact tuning for this track not verified in the sources used here) (estimated)

Pickup Selector

neck+middle

Playing Technique

Two-hand tapping with a strong piano influence: consistent finger strength across hands, deliberate note length, and rigorous muting to keep harmonies clean. Keep attack relatively soft (avoid harsh spikes), but precise in time—this style exposes rhythmic drift. Use subtle vibrato on sustained melody tones and let delay repeats ‘cascade’ while keeping rests dead quiet.
