Notes

Studio recording (2009-2010, 'Only Revolutions' album). Simon Neil used his Stratocaster for the main riff, running into a Marshall JCM800 and sometimes blended with a Fender Twin Reverb for added clarity. No evidence of Les Paul or 'Greeny' on this track. Effects and amp settings are estimated based on typical studio setup and genre, as no direct numeric settings are published for this song's recording.

Difficulty

The riff requires intermediate skill due to its syncopated, percussive strumming, clean chord changes at a moderate tempo, and dynamic control to maintain clarity and crunch.
