Notes

Studio recording, 2006-2007, Favourite Worst Nightmare sessions. Alex Turner typically used his Fender Bronco through a Selmer Zodiac and/or 1960s Magnatone amp for rhythm/riff parts on this album. No evidence of Vox AC30 or Orange AD30TC for this specific song/section. No confirmed pedalboard photos from the studio session for '505' riff, but effects are audibly present.

Difficulty

The riff requires tight timing and clean picking to maintain clarity with the ambient effects, but does not involve advanced techniques or fast passages.
