Notes

Gear confirmed from Premier Guitar rig rundown for Olivia Rodrigo's touring band (Emily Rosenfield/Daisy Spencer). Studio recording likely used similar setup as live, as the album was released in 2023 and the band is known to use Kempers for both live and studio. No evidence of alternate guitars/amps for the clean riff. Year: 2023 (Guts album).

Difficulty

The riff requires clean, articulate picking with good muting and dynamic control, but uses straightforward chord shapes and moderate tempo, making it accessible to most players with some experience.
