Notes

Studio recording, 2001. Both Albert Hammond Jr. and Nick Valensi used nearly identical rigs for 'Is This It' era. Riff section is Albert Hammond Jr. on Stratocaster into Hot Rod DeVille. No evidence of additional amps or guitars for this part. Pedals confirmed: Visual Sound Jekyll & Hyde Overdrive. No evidence of other pedals or effects for the riff section.

Difficulty

The riff is fast and requires tight, consistent alternate picking and muting, but uses straightforward chord shapes and no advanced techniques.
