Notes

Studio recording, 2015. Mac DeMarco is known for using his Squier Stratocaster and a 1970s Fender Twin Reverb with master volume for his signature tones. Multiple sources and interviews confirm he rarely uses pedals, preferring amp reverb and the guitar's controls. No evidence of additional pedals or effects for this song's riff section.
