Notes
Studio recording, 2016. All available sources and isolated tracks indicate the main riff is played on a steel-string acoustic guitar, likely a Gibson J-45 (James Arthur is seen using this model live and in promo, and the tone matches a J-45). No evidence of electric guitar or amp in the riff section. Live performances sometimes use a Boss Katana or similar acoustic amp, but not on the original studio track.
