Notes

Studio recording, 2020. Mac DeMarco is known to use his 1960s Teisco for most studio work, especially for his signature lo-fi tone. The amp is most likely a Fender Twin Reverb, as per multiple gear rundowns and interviews. No evidence of live-specific gear for this song. Effects are primarily from pedals and amp reverb.

Difficulty

The riff is straightforward with simple chord shapes and a clean, modulated tone, but requires attention to dynamics and subtlety to capture the characteristic feel.
