Notes
Studio recording, 2001 (Take Off Your Pants and Jacket era). No evidence of pedals used for the riff section; Tom DeLonge's signature Strat with single Invader bridge pickup into Mesa Triple Rectifier was the core studio setup for this album's rhythm/riff tones.

Difficulty
The riff requires fast, tight palm muting and accurate power chord changes at a brisk tempo, but uses straightforward punk techniques without advanced lead or complex chord voicings.
