Notes

Live performance, typical post-2010s Local H setup; Scott Lucas uses a custom Telecaster with a bass pickup wired to a separate output, running to both guitar and bass amps simultaneously. No evidence of alternate guitars or amps for 'Lovey Dovey (live)' riff section.

Difficulty

The riff is based on straightforward power chords with some syncopation and requires a strong, consistent pick attack for the punchy live sound, but does not involve advanced techniques or fast tempo.
