Second-Album Sermon Snap — P-90 Riff & Telecaster Reply
The arrangement uses Franz Ferdinand’s characteristic division between a blunt rhythmic hook and a thinner answering guitar. A community transcription confirms a distorted guitar part, but the recording’s exact guitar and amplifier assignments are not documented, so the SG, Telecaster and amp settings are approximated from the band’s established era rig.

Signal Chain
Notes
Make the main riff punchy but leave the low end to the bass. The counter-guitar should sound smaller, sharper and rhythmically independent.
