Notes

Studio recording, 2019-2020 (The Infamous Bill EP). Mark Speer is known for using his signature Stratocaster with single-coil pickups and a Fender Twin Reverb for clean, twangy tones. No evidence of alternate guitars or amps for this specific track. Settings and pedals inferred from genre, era, and artist's typical studio setup.

Difficulty

The riff requires intermediate-level picking accuracy, dynamic control to maintain clarity with effects, and precise timing to lock in with the ambient delay and reverb.
