Andy You’re A Star (Guitar) - The Killers - Hot Fuss

This is how Dave Keuning played the song during the Hot Fuss tour in 2004-2005.

I’ve used the same finger positions as Dave, based on studying the live performances from the time, on YouTube.

The guitar is tuned to Eb.

Live, there are only minor differences from the electric guitar parts of the studio version.
On the 4th hit of the opening riff, Dave normally strikes the G and B strings, whereas on the studio version, he strikes the A and D strings. This pattern is repeated throughout the song.
Live, Dave also strums the pre-chorus in a very specific way.

I don’t think Dave used any effects live for this song, but I’ve replicated the studio version with a subtle slap back delay throughout and then switching on the slightly longer and more prominent delay for the very last chord of the song.

Dave used his 1996 Fender 50th Anniversary American Standard Stratocaster in Candy Apple Red with maple board, to play the song.

I’m using exactly the same specification/year guitar, for the cover.
