Notes

Studio recording, 2013. Alex Turner used the Vox Starstream XII 12-string for the main riff, running into a Selmer Zodiac Twin 30 amp (with some Magnatone Custom 410 blended in the studio). No evidence of live rig or alternate guitars for the clean riff section.

Difficulty

The riff is technically straightforward but requires precise picking and articulation on a 12-string guitar to maintain clarity and groove at a slow tempo.
