Notes

Live performance, 2010s era (Prague show). Guitar is tuned to Eb. Amp is the modded Marshall Super Lead used for most Green Day live tones. No evidence of additional pedals or effects for the riff section. No studio effects; this is the live rig.

Difficulty

The riff is slow and based on simple power chords, but requires tight palm muting and dynamic consistency for the percussive punk feel.
