Studio recording, 2007 (Favourite Worst Nightmare sessions). Gear inferred from era-specific photos and interviews. No explicit confirmation for this exact song, but Selmer Zodiac Twin 30 and Telecaster are documented as Alex Turner's main studio rig for this album. No evidence of alternate guitars or amps for this riff section.

The riff requires fast, tight alternate picking with precise palm muting and rhythmic accuracy, but does not involve advanced lead techniques or complex chord voicings.
