Notes

Studio recording, 2002 original session (2022 remaster is from same take). All evidence points to the classic Libertines setup: Epiphone Casino with P-90s into a Vox AC30, amp overdrive only, no pedals for main riff. No evidence of additional pedals or effects on the studio recording of the riff section.

Difficulty

The riff is rhythmically straightforward but requires aggressive, consistent strumming and dynamic control to achieve the Libertines' signature raw crunch.
