Notes
Studio recording for 'Hard Times' (2017, After Laughter). Taylor York used BilT Relevator LS with humbuckers into a Supro Statesman amp. Effects chain included multiple modulation pedals. No direct evidence of live rig for this section; all info is for studio recording.

Difficulty
The riff requires tight, syncopated strumming with clean note separation and dynamic control, especially to keep clarity through multiple modulation effects at a fast tempo.
