Notes

Studio recording, 2018-2019. No direct evidence of amp or pedal model for 'xanny' riff; guitar model inferred from Equipboard and typical Finneas/Billie studio use for this era. No evidence of live-specific gear for this part.

Difficulty

The riff is technically simple but demands careful control of dynamics, a muted attack, and precise timing to match the intimate, lo-fi studio feel.
