Notes
Studio recording, 2007 album 'Traffic and Weather'. Gear confirmed for Fountains of Wayne sound in this era, but not tied to specific song section. No direct evidence for alternate guitars/amps on 'I-95' riff. No evidence of live rig differences.

Difficulty
The riff requires tight, syncopated strumming and clean chord changes to maintain the song's bright, articulate feel, but does not involve advanced techniques or fast tempo.
