Notes

Studio recording, 2006-2007. Alex Turner primarily used his Fender Bronco through a Selmer Zodiac and/or 1960s Magnatone amp for the Favourite Worst Nightmare album. Vox AC30 was also used live, but studio sources confirm the Selmer/Magnatone pairing for this era and album. Settings estimated due to lack of explicit numbers in sources.

Difficulty

The solo is not technically demanding in terms of speed or advanced techniques, but requires careful control of clean tone, timing with delay, and expressive phrasing to maintain the song's atmospheric feel.
