Notes

Studio recording, 2018-2019. Braeden Lemasters played the main riff on the Rickenbacker 360 through a Fender Hot Rod DeVille 212. No explicit mention of alternate guitars or amps for this section. Pedal use is inferred from artist interviews and typical Wallows studio practice.

Difficulty

The riff requires tight, fast alternate picking and rhythmic accuracy, but uses straightforward chord shapes and no advanced techniques, making it accessible to intermediate players.
