Notes
Studio recording, 2013-2014 era. No direct evidence for 'You're So Dark' session, but AM-era studio gear and tone match. No evidence of Tom Rowley on recording; Alex Turner and Jamie Cook likely tracked guitars. No photo/video of exact session rig for this B-side.

Difficulty
The riff requires tight timing and palm muting for clarity, but does not involve advanced techniques or fast passages, making it accessible to intermediate players.
