Notes

Studio recording, year 1999-2000 (Nothing Gold Can Stay/early NFG era). Guitar confirmed via forum post referencing Steve Klein's Strat used on 'Hit or Miss'. No direct evidence for amp, but Marshall JCM900 is strongly associated with pop-punk of this era and band. No evidence of pedal use in riff section; distortion likely from amp.

Difficulty

The riff requires fast, precise palm muting and tight chord changes typical of pop-punk, but uses mostly basic power chords and straightforward rhythm, making it accessible to intermediate players.
