The recording
Turner tracked the riff on a 2013 Gretsch G6228 Players Edition Jet BT, using the bridge pickup and a light picking attack near the bridge for a thin, brittle edge. The signal was routed straight into a Vox AC30 C2, with the top‑boost channel driven hard to produce the song’s characteristic crunch. The guitar was recorded close‑mic’d, capturing the aggressive attack and the amp’s natural breakup. The pre‑chorus pull‑off lick combines fingers and thumb for a fluid, percussive feel.
