Notes

Studio recording, 2018. Adam Hann used the Roland JC-120 for clean/riff tones on The 1975's second and third albums. No evidence of Hiwatt or Vibrolux on this specific studio recording. The JC-120 is known for its stereo chorus and clean headroom. Guitar confirmed via pedalboard and live/studio photos.

Difficulty

The riff requires clean, syncopated rhythm playing with precise timing and note separation, but does not involve advanced techniques or fast runs.
