Notes

Studio recording, 2004-2005. Kelly Jones confirmed use of Fender Jaguars and Mustangs for the album 'Language. Sex. Violence. Other?' (which includes 'Dakota'). Adam Zindani also played rhythm parts live with a Fender Telecaster Custom, but the main riff is attributed to Kelly Jones. Pedalboard evidence from the era shows Boss BD-2 Blues Driver, MXR Doubleshot Distortion, Boss DD-3 Delay, Boss BF-3 Flanger, and no evidence of amp-based effects. No direct studio knob settings found; settings estimated based on amp, genre, and era.

Difficulty

The riff is fast and requires tight alternate picking and palm muting, but uses straightforward fretting and rhythm. The main challenge is maintaining timing with the delay and modulation effects.
