Notes

Studio recording, 1999-2000 (debut album era). Guitar and amp inferred from artist interviews, live rig rundowns, and genre/era conventions. No direct studio session documentation found for this specific song, but PRS Billy Martin and Mesa/Boogie Dual Rectifier are the most consistently cited for this era and style.

Difficulty

The riff is based on straightforward power chords and palm muting, requiring tight rhythm and aggressive picking, but no advanced techniques or complex chord voicings.
