Notes

Studio recording, 2007 (Minutes to Midnight). Brad Delson is known to use PRS guitars and Mesa/Boogie amps for this era. No direct studio photo evidence for 'Bleed It Out', but this matches period-correct interviews and rig rundowns. No evidence of pedals or effects other than amp distortion for the riff section.

Difficulty

The riff is fast and requires tight palm muting and rhythmic accuracy, but uses simple power chords and no advanced techniques, making it accessible to intermediate players.
