Notes

Studio recording for 'Suck It and See' (2011); Jamie Cook's main rig for the album included the Rosewell Bluesman into a '60s Simms Watts amp, with some tracks possibly using the Audio Kitchen Big Chopper. Effects pedals used for ambient and fuzz textures. Settings estimated due to lack of explicit numbers.

Difficulty

The riff requires fast, tight picking and rhythmic precision, especially under heavy fuzz. The syncopated pattern and need for clarity through saturated tones make it moderately challenging.
