Notes

Studio recording, 1999 (Enema of the State). Tom DeLonge used his signature Strat with a single Seymour Duncan Invader bridge pickup, straight into a Mesa/Boogie Triple Rectifier head and 4x12 cab. No evidence of additional pedals or effects for the riff section. Settings estimated based on genre, era, and typical amp usage. No live/touring gear included.

Difficulty

The riff is fast and requires tight palm muting and power chord accuracy, but uses basic punk techniques and is accessible to most players with some experience.
