Notes
Studio recording, 2021. No direct evidence for exact gear on this track, but based on genre, era, and Nick Cave's and The Witches' typical clean tones, a Telecaster into a Fender Twin Reverb is most likely. No evidence of pedals or effects beyond amp reverb for the clean riff section.
Tone Character(9)

Difficulty
The riff requires clean, articulate chord work and dynamic control, but no advanced techniques or fast passages, making it accessible to most players with basic clean technique.
