Notes

Studio recording, 2019-2020 era. Steve Lacy is known for minimal setups and often uses his signature Stratocaster with onboard fuzz, but the riff section of 'Some' is clean and likely does not use the fuzz. Amp is a Fender Twin Reverb, as confirmed by multiple interviews. No evidence of additional pedals for the riff section.

Difficulty

The riff requires intermediate skill due to its syncopated funk rhythm, need for precise muting, and dynamic picking to achieve the clean, articulate tone.
