Notes
Studio recording for 'Freak Out!' (2012). Ray Carlisle used the Marshall JCM800 2203 and 1960B cab for the album before switching to Orange amps for later tours. No evidence of pedal use for the riff section; chorus pedal only used for solos/live.

Difficulty
The riff requires fast, aggressive downstrokes and tight palm muting at a brisk tempo, but uses straightforward power chords and rhythm patterns typical of punk, making it accessible to intermediate players.
