Notes

Studio recording, year 2000. Jonny Buckland used a Fender Jaguar Reissue into a Fender Hot Rod DeVille for the 'Parachutes' era, which includes 'Trouble'. No evidence of alternate guitars or amps for this specific recording. Live, he sometimes used a Silvertone 1484 Twin Twelve, but studio evidence points to the DeVille.

The riff is easy for most players, requiring clean arpeggios and dynamic control, but no advanced techniques or fast passages.
