Notes
Live performance, March 2004, Kuala Lumpur. Mike Einziger is known for using his PRS CE24 with coil-split for clean tones and Mesa/Boogie Dual Rectifier amps for both clean and dirty sounds. No direct evidence of alternate guitars/amps for this specific clean section in this live performance.

Difficulty
The clean riff requires tight, syncopated picking and dynamic control to maintain clarity at a fast tempo, but does not involve advanced techniques or complex chord voicings.
