Notes

Studio recording, 2023. Olivia Rodrigo's band guitarists use Kemper Profilers for both live and studio, with profiles covering modern pop-punk/rock tones. No explicit confirmation of exact guitar/amp for the studio riff, but Telecasters and Kempers are documented for this era and genre. No pedalboard or amp photo from the studio session for this specific song/part.

Difficulty

The riff requires tight palm muting and rhythmic precision, but uses straightforward power chords and no advanced techniques, making it accessible to intermediate players.
