Notes

Studio recording for 'High Risk Behaviour' (2020). Guitarist Josh Price tracked most of the album, including 'the clap', with a Takamine GX-100BT through a Fender Twin Reverb. Always-on EHX Soul Food pedal for breakup. Crowther Audio Hot Cake used for solos, not riff. Settings are estimated for studio context. No evidence of modulation or time-based pedals in riff section.

Difficulty

The riff is fast and requires tight, aggressive downstroke strumming with clean power chord changes, but uses straightforward punk rhythm techniques without advanced technical demands.
