Notes

Studio recording, 2022 (from 'Being Funny in a Foreign Language'). Adam Hann has stated in interviews that the Roland JC-120 was a go-to amp for clean and chorus-heavy tones on The 1975's second album and beyond. No evidence of live rig or alternate amp for this specific solo.

Difficulty

The solo is not technically fast or complex but requires careful phrasing, sustain, and sensitivity to the ambient effects for the dreamy, atmospheric sound.
