British crunchrich, saturated chordsmid-forward, thick rhythmopen and anthemicslightly compressed attackdynamic and responsive to pickingbuzzy, classic 90s Britpop soundsinging sustain on chordsarticulate but not harshwarm, punchy lows

The riff is based on open chords and straightforward strumming, but requires control over dynamics and muting to achieve the punchy, anthemic sound. Moderate difficulty due to tempo and need for rhythmic precision.
