Notes

Studio recording, 2024. Guitar and amp inferred from Jack White's consistent use on similar riff-driven tracks and tone match to White Stripes-era recordings. No direct studio photo for this song, but strong evidence from tone, era, and multiple sources referencing his lo-fi blues setup. Beetronics Tuna Fuzz pedal confirmed in YouTube lesson for this song's riff.

Difficulty

The riff requires intermediate skill due to its aggressive picking, dynamic control to maintain clarity through fuzz, and syncopated groove. Not technically advanced, but tone and feel are challenging.
