Notes

Studio recording, 2000/2001 era (Echo Park album sessions). Grant Nicholas is confirmed to use a Fender Stratocaster HSS in the music video and interviews for this period. Amp setup is a blend of Fender DeVille 212 and JMI AC30, with Marshall possibly layered for heaviness. Settings estimated based on typical use and genre, as no numeric values are given in sources.

Difficulty

The riff relies on tight, punchy palm-muted power chords and syncopated rhythm, but does not require advanced lead techniques or complex chord voicings. The main challenge is maintaining energy and precision at a medium tempo.
