Notes

Studio recording, 2024-2025 era. Sam Fender is seen in behind-the-scenes footage tracking the riff on a Gibson Les Paul Deluxe, using both pickups (middle position) and switching to bridge pickup for a dirtier sound. No explicit amp model or pedalboard is visible or mentioned for the clean riff section.

Difficulty

The riff requires intermediate-level control due to pickup switching, subtle tremolo timing, and clean articulation, but does not involve advanced techniques or fast passages.
