Notes

Studio recording, 2004. Guitarist Alex Kapranos is confirmed to use the '72 Telecaster Deluxe and Fender Hot Rod Deluxe amp for the main riff section of 'Michael'. No evidence of alternate guitars or amps for this part. No evidence of pedal use for the main riff in studio; pedalboard details from later eras/touring are not tied to this recording.

Difficulty

The riff is rhythmically tight and requires precise muting and articulation at a fast tempo, but does not involve advanced techniques or complex chord voicings.
