Notes

Studio recording for 'Full Control' (2021, Valentine album). Gear confirmed for this era; Jaguar and Marshall DSL40C are directly cited as core to the Snail Mail sound. Pedalboard for this era includes EarthQuaker Devices Palisades and MXR M234 Analog Chorus. No evidence of other guitars or amps used for this riff section in the studio.

Difficulty

The riff requires clean, articulate playing with dynamic picking and some syncopation, but does not involve advanced techniques or fast tempo, making it accessible to intermediate players.
