Notes

Studio recording, 2000 album 'Maybe I'll Catch Fire'. No direct source confirms the exact amp or pedal used for 'Radio', but era and genre point to a Les Paul Special with P-90s into a Marshall JCM900 or similar high-gain British amp. No evidence of pedals or effects beyond amp distortion for the riff section.

Difficulty

The riff is driven by fast, aggressive power chords and requires tight palm muting and consistent rhythm, but does not involve advanced techniques or complex chord voicings.
