Notes

Studio recording, 1993-1994 (Dookie album). Guitar is Billie Joe Armstrong's 'Blue' Strat with a Seymour Duncan JB bridge humbucker. Amp is a Marshall JCM900 4100, as used on Dookie. No evidence of additional pedals or effects for this riff section; distortion comes from amp gain. Settings estimated based on era, genre, and typical Dookie setup. No evidence of live/touring substitutions or alternate gear for this song section.

Difficulty

The riff is straightforward but requires tight palm muting and fast, accurate power chord changes at a moderate tempo, making it accessible for most players with some punk rhythm experience.
