Notes
Studio and live setups are nearly identical for this era. Both amps are blended for most of the song, with a Telecaster as the main guitar. No evidence of humbuckers or other guitars for this track. Year: 2015-2017 (Sprained Ankle/Turn Out the Lights era).

The riff is technically simple but demands careful dynamic control, clean articulation, and sensitivity to ambient effects for the signature sound.
