Notes
Studio recording, 2014 (Everything Will Be Alright In The End). Gear inferred from Guitar Chalk and genre-typical Weezer setups for heavy riff sections. No direct studio documentation for this specific song, but Explorer + JCM800 is the closest match for the album's heavy rhythm tone.

Difficulty
The riff requires solid rhythm technique and palm muting but uses straightforward power chords and moderate tempo, making it accessible to intermediate players.
