Notes
Gear confirmed from pedalboard and guitar photos for Jimmy Lanwern of Keo. No explicit amp model or studio vs live distinction for 'Hands' riff section. Pedalboard evidence is from live rig, but no confirmation if identical for studio recording. Recording likely from 2010s+ era.

Difficulty
The riff requires intermediate skill due to its syncopated rhythm, dynamic picking, and the need to control several effects for the signature sound.
