Notes

Studio recording, year 2001 (from debut album 'Gorillaz'). No direct source for exact gear used on '5/4' riff, but Telecaster and Marshall are most probable based on era, genre, and band history.

Difficulty

The main challenge is the 5/4 time signature and maintaining tight, punchy rhythm with consistent attack; otherwise, the riff is straightforward for an intermediate player.
