Notes

Studio recording, 2015 (Tell Me I'm Pretty album). Amp model and settings from Guitar Chalk. Guitar model inferred from Premier Guitar rig rundown and era. Pickup type inferred from Mustang model. No explicit pedalboard info for this song's studio recording; live rig includes Mustangs and Jaguars but Mustang is most likely for riff. No evidence of effects loop.

Difficulty

The riff requires tight timing, aggressive picking, and dynamic control to maintain the raw, buzzy tone with a low guitar volume setting. Intermediate players will find the rhythmic precision and tone-shaping challenging.
