Notes

No evidence of A Boogie wit da Hoodie playing guitar on the studio recording; riff section is likely a clean, palm-muted Stratocaster part. H.E.R. performed the riff live on The Tonight Show (2020) using a custom black Fender Stratocaster into a Kemper Profiling Amp. Studio recording gear is not documented, but the live rig is the only confirmed setup for this riff.

Difficulty

The riff is straightforward but requires tight palm muting and clean articulation to maintain the percussive, dynamic feel. No advanced techniques or fast passages.
