Notes

Gear inferred from photo/video evidence of Jacob Rubeck using a Fender Mustang and Fender Frontman 212R amp in live sessions close to the era of 'Freaks' (2017). No direct studio documentation found; likely same setup for studio and live. No evidence of alternate guitars or amps for the riff section.

Difficulty

The riff is accessible to intermediate beginners but requires tight timing, clean picking, and some muting to maintain clarity and rhythmic drive.
