Notes

Studio recording, circa 2011 (for 'Electric' from the album 'New Album'). Wata is the guitarist for this section. Gear confirmed for studio era by interviews and pedalboard rundowns. The Elk BM fuzz was core to her tone, but by this era, the EarthQuaker Devices Hizumitas (her signature) is a direct clone of the Elk BM and is referenced as a replacement in later interviews. For the original recording, the Elk BM was used.

Difficulty

The riff is not technically complex but requires tight rhythm, control of heavy fuzz, and strong picking dynamics to maintain clarity in a dense, saturated mix.
