Notes
Studio recording, 1999-2000 era. Gear inferred from period-correct live photos, forum discussions, and known band setups. No evidence of alternate guitars or amps for the riff section. No evidence of humbuckers or non-Strat guitars for this part.

Difficulty
The riff is moderately challenging due to its syncopated rhythm, need for tight muting, and the double-tracked arrangement, but does not require advanced lead techniques.
