Notes

Studio recording, 1993 (recorded for 'Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain'). No direct evidence for pedals or amp settings for 'Gold Soundz' riff, but era and genre suggest typical indie rock setup. Guitar and amp confirmed for Pavement's 1990s studio work, but not tied to this song by source. No evidence of effects loop or advanced pedalboard use for this section.

Difficulty

The riff requires moderately precise strumming and dynamic control to achieve the signature jangly crunch, but uses straightforward chord shapes and moderate tempo.
