Notes
Studio recording, 2022 (Beatopia era). Beabadoobee states she plays straight into a Marshall amp with minimal effects for most studio tracks. No evidence of pedal use for this song's riff section.

Difficulty
The riff is accessible to beginners but requires familiarity with alternate tunings and clean chord transitions. The main challenge is maintaining clarity and dynamic control in the open tuning.
