Notes

Studio recording for 'Sidetrack' (The Balcony, 2014). Guitar and amp setup inferred from era, band interviews, and consistent use on the album. No evidence of pedal use for clean tone; amp provides core sound. Pickup selector set to bridge for main riff/clean sections. No evidence of additional pedals or effects for clean sections. Settings estimated based on similar Catfish and the Bottlemen tones from this era.

Difficulty

The riff is straightforward but requires precise picking and clean chord transitions to maintain clarity and punch, especially at moderate tempo.
