Notes
Studio recording, 2004 ('Chuck' album). Multiple amps were blended in the studio, but Marshall DSL50 is most consistently cited for rhythm/riff parts. Guitar is Deryck's Telecaster Deluxe with humbucker in bridge. No explicit pedal use for riff section; effects are minimal or absent.

Difficulty
The riff is straightforward, relying on power chords and palm muting with moderate timing precision. No advanced techniques or fast passages are required.
