Notes

Studio recording, 1988. No direct evidence of exact guitar or amp model for the original studio riff section. Live performance anecdotes mention a fuzz pedal, but studio version is a bright, chimey, slightly gritty rhythm tone with no clear fuzz. No evidence of chorus, delay, or modulation effects in the riff section. Era is late 1980s UK indie pop/rock.

Difficulty

The riff is fast and requires tight, consistent strumming and chord changes, but uses basic open and barre chords without advanced techniques.
