Studio recording, 2007 (Infinity on High album). Guitar Chalk and Equipboard both cite Gibson SG and Marshall JCM800 as the core studio rig for this era and song. Settings and effects are based on studio context, not live digital rigs.

The riff requires fast, tight alternate picking and precise palm muting at a high tempo, with syncopated rhythms typical of pop-punk. While not virtuosic, it demands solid right-hand technique and stamina.
