Notes

Studio recording for 'Enema of the State' (1999). Tom DeLonge used his signature Stratocaster with a single Seymour Duncan Invader bridge pickup, into a Mesa/Boogie Triple Rectifier head and Mesa 4x12 cabinet. No pedal distortion; amp gain only. No evidence of additional pedals or effects for the main riff section.

Difficulty

The riff is built on simple power chords and straightforward rhythm, but requires tight palm muting and consistent, aggressive strumming at a fast tempo.
