Notes
Studio recording, 2007-2008. No direct evidence of exact guitar/amp model for the riff section, but Telecaster into a clean Fender amp is standard for this style and era. No evidence of live rig or alternate gear for this part.

Difficulty
The riff is straightforward but requires tight, consistent picking and palm muting to match the polished, percussive feel of the recording.
