Notes

Studio recording, 2022 (Skinty Fia album). Carlos O'Connell plays the main riff on a Martin J12-15 12-string into a Fender '68 Custom Deluxe Reverb. Effects chain includes Moose Electronics Reverb (first in chain), MXR Micro Amp for gain. No evidence of electric guitar or alternate amp for the riff section. All evidence is for the studio version, not live.

Difficulty

The riff requires tight, percussive strumming and dynamic control on a 12-string acoustic, but does not involve complex chord shapes or advanced techniques.
