Notes

Studio recording, 2019. Kevin Bivona states he uses a Fender Telecaster through a Fender Blues Deluxe with drive set at 4 for core ska/punk rhythm tone. No evidence of pedal use for the riff section; core tone is guitar and amp. Settings and effects are inferred from direct interview and genre conventions.

Difficulty

The riff requires tight, percussive ska rhythm playing with precise muting and dynamic control, but uses straightforward chord shapes and moderate tempo, making it accessible to players with basic rhythm skills.
