Notes

Studio recording, 2015-2016. Adam Hann has stated the Roland JC-120 was a go-to for clean sounds on the album featuring 'The Sound.' No evidence of live substitutions for this specific studio recording. No evidence of alternate guitars or amps for the main riff section.

Difficulty

The riff requires tight, syncopated rhythm playing with clean muting and precise articulation to maintain clarity with chorus and reverb. While not technically advanced, the tempo and rhythmic discipline make it moderately challenging.
