Notes

Studio recording, 2002-2003 Meteora sessions. PRS Custom 24 was Brad Delson's main guitar for heavy riff sections during this era. Mesa Dual Rectifier was the primary amp for rhythm tones. No evidence of live or alternate gear for this demo. Settings and effects are based on studio-era sources and genre-typical practices.

Difficulty

The riff requires intermediate skill due to tight palm muting, precise rhythm, and maintaining clarity with high-gain settings, but does not involve advanced lead techniques or complex chord voicings.
