Notes

Studio recording, 2012-2013 (album released 2013). No direct source confirms the exact Telecaster or amp model for this song's riff, but genre, era, and Nashville studio practices strongly indicate a Telecaster into a Fender tube amp. No evidence of live rig or alternate guitars/amps for the riff section.

Difficulty

The riff is rhythmically straightforward but requires tight timing, percussive muting, and dynamic control to achieve the punchy, crunchy Nashville country rock sound.
