Notes

Studio recording, 2020. Gear inferred from Albert Hammond Jr's known studio setup for The Strokes' 'The New Abnormal' era. No direct studio photo for this track, but multiple sources confirm this guitar/amp pairing for recording. Synth-like tone achieved via pedal, not actual synth.

Difficulty

The riff is technically simple but requires careful timing and even picking to maintain the synth effect's smoothness and avoid unwanted glitches.
