Notes

Studio recording, 2021-2022 era. Evidence from multiple sources points to Jazzmaster into Vox AC30 for MJ Lenderman's solo work, including 'Left Your Smile.' No evidence of alternate guitars or amps for this specific track's riff section.

The riff is accessible to intermediate players but requires familiarity with alternate tunings, dynamic picking, and subtle effect usage for authentic tone.
