Notes

Studio recording, 2023 album 'One More Time...'. Tom DeLonge's modern rig uses Fractal Axe-FX III with Marshall Plexi and Soldano X88R models for drive sounds. The signature Strat has only the bridge Invader pickup wired. No evidence of pedals for distortion; all drive from amp modeling. No evidence of additional effects in riff section.

Difficulty

The riff requires fast, tight palm muting and consistent power chord changes, but uses straightforward punk rhythm and no advanced techniques.
