Notes

Gear is based on Adam Warrington's setup with YUNGBLUD around 2020, studio recording for 'Strawberry Lipstick'. No explicit confirmation of exact guitar/amp for this specific studio riff, but Les Paul + Marshall is most consistent with the sound and sources. Pedalboard is well-documented for this era.

Difficulty

The riff requires fast, aggressive strumming with tight muting and control over high-gain fuzz, but does not involve advanced lead techniques or complex chord voicings.
