Notes

Studio recording, likely tracked in early 2000s. No direct evidence for this specific cover, but all available sources and era context point to Tom DeLonge's standard studio rig: Strat with Invader bridge pickup into Mesa/Boogie Triple Rectifier. No evidence of pedal use for distortion; distortion is amp-based. No evidence of modulation or time-based effects in riff section.

Difficulty

The riff is straightforward pop-punk power chord work at a fast tempo, requiring tight palm muting and consistent rhythm but no advanced techniques.
