Notes
Studio recording, 2010s+ era. Guitar and amp identified as primary studio rig for Cigarettes After Sex by ToneMirror. No direct confirmation for 'John Wayne' session, but this is the most cited studio setup for their signature sound.

Difficulty
The riff is slow and uses basic chord shapes, but achieving the signature dreamy sound requires careful control of dynamics and timing with effects.
