Notes

Gear confirmed via Equipboard for Pinegrove's Evan Stephens Hall; the Stratocaster and Hot Rod Deluxe III are visible in live sessions and are the most likely setup for the distorted riff section of 'Size of the Moon'. No evidence of alternate guitars or amps for the studio recording. Year of recording: 2016 (Cardinal album).

Difficulty

The riff requires moderate rhythmic precision and dynamic control to achieve the expressive, crunchy tone, but does not involve advanced lead techniques or complex chord voicings.
