Notes
Studio recording, 2013, Arctic Monkeys 'AM' album. Gear confirmed for this era and song by Equipboard and multiple forum discussions. No evidence of live rig differences for clean section.

Difficulty
The clean section is technically straightforward but requires precise picking and articulation to maintain clarity and chime on a 12-string electric. The main challenge is the feel and evenness, not speed or advanced technique.
