Notes
Studio recording, 2019 (Let's Rock album). Gear confirmed for era and typical studio use by Dan Auerbach. No explicit source tying this exact gear to 'The Flame' riff, but Harmony H78 and Fender Twin Reverb are strongly associated with his studio tones for this album.
Tone Character(10)
fuzzy and saturatedmidrange-forwardthick and harmonically richslightly compressedtouch-sensitivewarm with bitedynamic responseclassic garage rock fuzzdistinctive single-coil articulationnot overly scooped
Difficulty
The riff is moderately challenging due to its syncopated rhythm and the need for dynamic control with a touch-sensitive fuzz tone, but does not require advanced techniques.
