Notes
Studio recording, 2021. Guitar confirmed by Equipboard for 'Happier Than Ever' album era. No explicit amp or pedal info for the distorted riff section; likely a blend of amp and post-processing. No evidence of live rig being used for studio recording.

Difficulty
The riff is based on straightforward power chords and rhythm playing, but requires precise timing and dynamic control to match the aggressive, processed sound of the recording.
