Notes

Studio recording for 'Stop the World I Wanna Get Off With You' (2013, AM era). Alex Turner is documented using a Fender Bronco into a Selmer Zodiac Twin 30, often with a Magnatone Custom 410 blended for reverb/vibrato. No evidence of alternate guitars or amps for this solo section. Pedal use is inferred from era-correct board and audible effects.

Difficulty

The solo is intermediate due to its melodic phrasing, moderate tempo, and need for expressive bends and vibrato, but does not require advanced speed or complex techniques.
