Notes
Studio recording, 2024. Guitar and amp confirmed for Kings of Leon riff tones by forum and interview sources. No direct evidence for 'Cold Blue Dawn' session, but this is the most likely pairing for riff sections based on era and band member gear. No evidence of live-specific substitutions.

Difficulty
The riff requires tight, syncopated chord work with muting and dynamic control to maintain clarity and groove, but does not involve advanced techniques or high speed.
