Notes

Studio recording, 2003 (Room on Fire album). Evidence from multiple sources confirms Albert Hammond Jr. used a Fender Stratocaster into a Fender Hot Rod DeVille 212 for the main riff sections on 'Automatic Stop.' No evidence of alternate guitars or amps for this part. Settings are estimated based on typical Strokes studio setup for this era and genre.

Difficulty

The riff requires tight, syncopated rhythm playing with clean articulation and moderate tempo, but does not involve advanced techniques or fast lead work.
