Notes

Studio recording, 2019 (from the album 'Here Comes the Cowboy'). Sources suggest the use of a Fender Stratocaster with single-coil pickups into a Fender Twin Reverb amp. Chorus and vibrato effects are signature to Mac DeMarco's tone and are audibly present in the riff section. No evidence of drive/distortion pedals for this part.

Difficulty

The riff requires clean, syncopated chord work and subtle dynamic control to maintain the dreamy, warbly feel. No advanced techniques, but timing and touch are important.
