Notes

Studio recording for 'Dammit' (Dude Ranch, 1997). Tom DeLonge used a single-humbucker Stratocaster into a Mesa/Boogie Triple Rectifier head with a Mesa 4x12 cab. No evidence of clean amp channel or clean pedal use on the studio recording. No evidence of effects pedals or amp-based effects for the clean section. No pickup selector—bridge pickup only.

Difficulty

The riff is fast and requires tight alternate picking and rhythm, but uses simple power chords and basic technique, making it accessible to most players with some experience.
