Notes

The 'guitar' riff in SOPHIE's 'Vyzee' is widely recognized as a synthesized sound, not a real guitar. Multiple discussions (see Reddit sources) confirm SOPHIE synthesized all instrument sounds on PRODUCT, including 'Vyzee', using software synths and digital processing. No evidence of a real guitar, pickups, or amp on the studio recording. Year: 2015, studio recording.

Difficulty

The riff's difficulty lies in synthesizer programming and rhythmic accuracy, not traditional guitar technique. Playing the part on a real guitar would be easy, but recreating the exact sound requires intermediate synth/sound design skills.
