Notes

Studio recording, 2019 (Father of the Bride era). Guitar and amp confirmed for Vampire Weekend's signature clean, bright tone. No direct evidence of pedals or alternate amps for this specific song/section; settings estimated based on typical JC-120 use and genre. No evidence of live-specific gear for this part.

Difficulty

The riff requires intermediate skill due to its syncopated, percussive picking and need for clean articulation at a brisk tempo, but does not involve advanced techniques or complex chord voicings.
