Notes

Studio recording, year 2000. Gear inferred based on Powderfinger's known studio setup for the 'Odyssey Number Five' album and era. No direct source confirms the exact amp/guitar for this song, but Telecaster and Fender amps are most consistently referenced for their signature clean/edge-of-breakup tones in this period.

Difficulty

The riff requires intermediate rhythmic control and dynamic picking to maintain clarity and edge-of-breakup tone, but does not involve advanced techniques or high speed.
