Sick Riffs: Rory Clewlow teaches you how to play Enter Shikari's { The Dreamer's Hotel }

Sick Riffs #7: Today, we've been treated to a super in-depth video from Rory Clewlow - guitarist of British chart-smashing UK electro-rockers Enter Shikari - where he plays through one of the band's most recent tracks, { The Dreamer's Hotel } and show you how to play the song's drop-tuned riffs.

The track is constructed in typical Shikari style, blending synths with punk-esque vocals and gain-driven guitars.

Clewlow wields a gorgeous white American Ultra Telecaster electric guitar equipped with Fender's proprietary noiseless pickups and an EverTune bridge, and runs it through a Kemper Profiling Amp - which he also uses live. Clewlow has no pedalboard at all, instead opting to automate all effects through his Kemper unit - a noteworthy decision as a guitarist in a band with such a digitally influenced sound.
