Notes

Studio recording, 2021. For the riff section of 'I Don't Live Here Anymore', Adam Granduciel ran guitars through a Roland JC-120 amp in the studio. The Stratocaster was used for its low-output single-coils, with chorus and reverb effects. Pickup position inferred from typical War on Drugs tones and available pickup configuration.

Difficulty

The riff requires precise timing and clean chord voicings with modulation effects, but does not involve advanced techniques or fast passages.
