Notes

Studio recording, 2014-2015 (album: Chinese Fountain). No direct evidence for exact guitar/amp model for this song, but Equipboard and era photos indicate Matt Taylor used a Fender Stratocaster and Fender Vibrolux Reissue in this period. LPB-1 booster pedal confirmed in pedalboard photo for Matt Taylor. Settings estimated based on typical Growlers tones and genre/amp type.

Difficulty

The riff is rhythmically interesting but uses straightforward chords and strumming, requiring clean articulation and dynamic control but not advanced techniques.
