Notes

Studio recording, 2021. Téa Campbell stated she used Dave Grohl’s Kemper tone for the bulk of the album, including 'Hit Like A Girl'. Guitar is the Reverend Billy Corgan Z-One with Railhammer Humcutters. No evidence of traditional tube amp or analog pedals in the studio; amp tone is a digital profile. No evidence of live rig or alternate gear for this section.

Difficulty

The riff requires intermediate skill due to its fast tempo, tight palm muting, and the need for precise, aggressive picking to maintain clarity and punch in a high-gain context.
