Notes

Studio recording, 2008-2009, for '21st Century Breakdown' album. Guitar confirmed from music video and era-specific sources. Amp confirmed as primary for distorted rhythm on album; 'Dookie Mod' is a custom midrange tweak. No evidence of live rig or alternate guitars for this section.

Difficulty

The riff requires solid palm muting and dynamic control for the tight, punchy sound, but uses straightforward power chords and rhythm, making it accessible to intermediate players.
