Notes

Studio recording, 2020 (from the album 'Sunlight'). Ashton Hardman-Le Cornu is confirmed to use a Fender Jaguar and Line 6 Helix for Spacey Jane's studio and live tones. No evidence of a traditional tube amp being used on the studio recording for 'Thrills' riff section; all effects and amp tones likely from Helix.

Difficulty

The riff requires tight timing and muting to keep clarity with multiple effects engaged, as well as dynamic control to prevent muddiness with chorus and delay. Moderate technical challenge for intermediate players.
