Notes
Studio recording, Showbiz album (1999); riff section. Guitar and amp confirmed for Showbiz era and riff sections by multiple sources. Effects chain likely minimal for this song; no evidence of Whammy or DL4 on 'Fillip' studio recording. No evidence of live-specific gear for this section.

The riff requires solid alternate picking, tight timing, and dynamic control to capture the punchy, articulate Muse sound, but does not involve advanced techniques or extreme speed.
