Notes

Studio recording, 2005. Guitar and amp confirmed for debut album sessions. No evidence of pedals or additional effects used for the riff section. Ampeg VT-40 was used by bassist Andy Nicholson, not for guitar. No evidence of Vox AC30 or Fender Twin Reverb on this specific studio recording. All pedal mentions are for later eras or live use.

Difficulty

The riff requires fast, precise picking and tight palm muting to maintain the song's aggressive, punchy feel. While not technically advanced, the tempo and rhythmic accuracy demand solid intermediate skill.
