Notes

Studio recording, 2013. Alex Turner used a Fender Jazzmaster for clean sections on AM, with a Vox AC30 as a primary amp in the studio. No evidence of live-specific gear for this clean section. No pedalboard evidence for clean part; overdrive/distortion pedals are used for heavier sections, not the clean riff.

Difficulty

The clean riff is beginner-friendly, with slow tempo, simple chords, and no advanced techniques required. The main challenge is maintaining a consistent clean tone and gentle dynamics.
