Notes

Studio recording, 2013 (AM album). Alex Turner is confirmed to use the Fender Bronco and Selmer Zodiac Twin 30 for much of the AM album, with the Magnatone Custom 410 sometimes blended for vibrato/reverb. No evidence of Les Paul or other guitars for this specific solo. No evidence of live rig for this section.

Difficulty

The solo is not technically demanding in terms of speed or advanced techniques, but requires good control of phrasing, bends, and dynamics to match the expressive, atmospheric feel of the recording.
