One of my favourite guitar riffs in the R.E.M. discography and I'm still unsure how they got that sound. My best guess is that it's Peter's Rickenbacker 12 string and an acoustic guitar playing the same part, hence creating a really gothic-sounding guitar sound that I've failed miserably to reproduce! Then you've got the jangly cystal-like guitar part at the end of verse 2 and verse 3 and accompanying the chorus.
I think so far I've done a pretty good job of getting by without owning the correct instruments, until this! A Rickenbacker 360 and a cello would have been useful for this one!
