This track contains little to no prominent guitar—it's synth-driven indie pop. Settings provide a clean ambient platform for textural strumming if attempting to add guitar underneath the synth layers. Hot Rod Deluxe's clean channel with subdued treble prevents overpowering the electronic production. Roll back volume and tone to soften single-coil attack.
