Notes
Studio recording, 2010 album 'Melted'. Gear inferred from Ty Segall's known studio setup for this era and song. No direct photo or interview confirmation for this exact session, but multiple sources confirm Silvertone 1484 and vintage Hagstrom II as his primary rig for 'Melted'.

The riff is rhythmically straightforward but requires aggressive picking and control over a saturated fuzz tone, making it moderately challenging for beginners but accessible to intermediate players.
