Crook Custom Tele with Fralin single-coils is Paisley's main studio guitar for this era and song. Dr. Z Mini Z amp confirmed for 'Ticks' studio use.

Difficulty

The riff requires advanced country picking techniques at a fast tempo, demanding precise right-hand hybrid picking, muting, and articulation for the signature Paisley sound.
