Notes

Studio recording, 1985 (I Don't Want to Grow Up album). Stephen Egerton is documented using a Kramer Baretta and Marshall JCM800 2203 for Descendents recordings in this era. No evidence of pedals or effects used for the riff section; Egerton is known for a straight-into-amp approach for rhythm parts.

Difficulty

The riff requires consistent fast alternate picking and tight rhythm, but uses straightforward power chords and punk techniques, making it accessible to intermediate players.
