Notes

Studio recording, 2006-2007. Alex Turner played his Fender Bronco through a Selmer Zodiac Twin 30 for rhythm/riff sections on 'Brianstorm' during the Favourite Worst Nightmare sessions. No evidence of live/touring substitutions for the studio tone.

Difficulty

The 'Brianstorm' riff is fast, requires tight alternate picking and palm muting, and demands stamina and precision to maintain clarity and aggression throughout the section.
