Notes
Studio recording, 2004-2005 era. Guitarist Matt Roberts is most likely using a Gibson Les Paul Standard with stock humbuckers into a Mesa/Boogie Dual Rectifier for the main riff. No evidence of live/touring substitutions or alternate guitars for the studio recording of 'Let Me Go'.

Difficulty
The riff relies on tight, palm-muted power chords and precise rhythm, but does not require advanced techniques or fast playing, making it accessible to intermediate players with solid rhythm skills.
