Notes
Studio recording for 'Natives' (2009-2010, blink-182 self-titled era). Tom DeLonge used his signature ES-333 with a single Invader bridge pickup into a Mesa/Boogie Triple Rectifier. No evidence of pedal use for the main riff; distortion from amp. Settings are for studio, not live.

Difficulty
The riff requires tight, fast palm muting and accurate power chord transitions at a brisk tempo, but does not involve advanced techniques or complex chord voicings.
