Notes

Studio recording, Songs for the Deaf album (2002). Guitar and amp confirmed by multiple interviews and studio photos; White Falcon is the main guitar for the riff. Peavey Decade amp confirmed by Josh Homme in interviews as the secret to the 'Go With the Flow' tone. Not to be confused with live rigs or other QOTSA songs.

The riff is straightforward but requires stamina for fast downstrokes and precision to keep the heavy fuzz and modulation sounding tight and clear.
