Notes
Studio recording, 2003-2004 (Ocean Avenue album era). No direct confirmation of exact guitar/amp for 'Only One' riff, but Les Paul and Marshall stack are most probable for Yellowcard's rhythm tone in this era. No evidence of alternate guitars or amps for this section.

Difficulty
The riff requires tight, punchy palm muting and precise timing to match the modulation effect, but uses standard pop-punk chord shapes and moderate tempo.
