Notes

Studio recording for 'Goldwaite' (2011, Shed album). Shane Moran is documented using a Gibson Les Paul Custom into a Marshall JCM800 2203 for this era. Some live performances show Orange Rockerverb or Peavey Roadmaster as substitutes, but studio recording is most reliably associated with the JCM800. No evidence of TopHat or other amps for this track. No specific pedalboard for this song's studio session is documented.

Difficulty

The riff requires tight, fast alternate picking and palm muting typical of punk/hardcore, but uses straightforward power chords and rhythm patterns, making it accessible to intermediate players.
