Notes

Studio recording, 2005-2006 era. No direct source confirms exact gear for this song, but band members (James Lynch, Tim Brennan) are known for using Les Pauls into Marshall amps for heavy rhythm sections in this period. No evidence of pedal use for main riff.

Difficulty

The riff is built on fast, driving power chords with tight palm muting and aggressive picking, but uses straightforward punk rhythm and no advanced techniques.
