Notes

Studio recording, 2017 (album: 'From A Room: Volume 2'). Guitar Chalk and Equipboard confirm the Les Paul and Princeton Reverb pairing for Stapleton's heavier, riff-driven tracks. Echoplex EP-3 Preamp and VS Audio Royal Flush Overdrive are cited as likely pedals for this tone. Settings are for studio, not live.

Difficulty

The riff requires tight timing, dynamic pick control for touch-sensitive overdrive, and clean muting to avoid string noise, making it intermediate for most players.
