Notes
Studio recording, 2013-2014 (Let's Shake with Marky Ramone). No evidence of pedal use; tone is amp-driven. Settings inferred from Ramones/Johnny Ramone punk tradition and era. No studio trickery or post-processing effects audible in riff section.

Difficulty
The riff is fast and requires consistent, aggressive downstroke strumming and tight power chord changes, but uses straightforward punk rhythm techniques without advanced technical demands.
