Notes

Studio recording, 2003 (self-titled album). Tom DeLonge used his signature ES-333 with a single Seymour Duncan SH-6 bridge humbucker, into a Mesa/Boogie Triple Rectifier head and Mesa 4x12 cabinet. No evidence of additional pedals or effects for the riff section; tone is amp-driven. No evidence of live rig or alternate guitars for this studio recording.

Difficulty

The riff requires tight palm muting and consistent alternate picking to maintain clarity with high-gain settings, but does not involve advanced techniques or complex rhythms.
