Notes

Studio recording, 2021 (Typhoons album). Mike Kerr used custom short-scale Jaguar basses for most of the record, running through a variety of unusual amps bought on eBay. He explicitly refused to name the exact amp models for this track. The tone is primarily sculpted with amps, with minimal pedal use compared to previous albums.

Difficulty

The riff requires tight, punchy playing with precise pedal use to maintain clarity and synth-like texture, but does not involve advanced soloing or complex chord work.
