Notes

Studio recording, 2013-2014 (Oddments album). Sources indicate the band used extremely cheap solid-state practice amps for the album, with no pedals on the record, just guitar straight into the amp, cranked for breakup. No evidence of live rig or alternate gear for this song's riff section.

Difficulty

The riff is based on simple barre chords and a slow groove, but requires dynamic control to achieve the touch-sensitive, edge-of-breakup tone and maintain the lo-fi feel.
