Notes
Studio recording, 2002-2003 era (Meteora sessions). Guitar and amp confirmed for this era and style; no direct evidence for 'A.06' session but matches all available sources for Linkin Park's heavy riff sections from this period.

Difficulty
The riff requires tight, fast palm muting and precise picking at a high tempo, with a need for clean muting and aggressive attack typical of nu-metal rhythm guitar.
