Notes
Studio recording, 2020-2021, recorded outdoors direct to tape for 'The Marfa Tapes' album. No evidence of pedals or elaborate effects chains; tone is extremely stripped-down and naturalistic, matching the 'one mic, campfire' approach described in multiple sources.

Difficulty
The riff is straightforward with open chords and steady rhythm, but requires good dynamic control and clean strumming for the exposed, unprocessed recording style.
