Notes
Studio recording, 2013-2014 era. Adam Hann used a Fender Stratocaster into a Roland JC-120 for clean/riff sections on 'Robbers'. Effects pedals (notably Strymon TimeLine, Ibanez TS9, Boss CE-1) were used for the riff. No evidence of Hiwatt or Vibrolux on the studio recording for this section.

Difficulty
The riff requires intermediate-level control of timing and articulation, especially with delay and modulation effects, but does not involve advanced soloing or complex chord shapes.
