Notes
Studio recording, original 2008/2009 era. Kevin Parker recorded all instruments himself in his home studio in Fremantle. No evidence of different gear for the riff section. No evidence of pedalboard use in the studio for this song, but fuzz and phaser are clearly audible in the recording.

Difficulty
The riff is moderately challenging due to its syncopated rhythm and the need to control fuzz and phaser effects, but does not require advanced technique or speed.
