Notes
Studio recording, 2003 (When Broken Is Easily Fixed album). No direct source for exact gear on this song, but Les Paul + Mesa/Boogie Dual Rectifier is widely documented as Silverstein's early 2000s studio setup. No evidence of pedal use for main riff; distortion likely from amp.

Difficulty
The riff requires fast, accurate palm muting and alternate picking at a high tempo, with tight rhythmic precision and control of noise/feedback typical of early 2000s post-hardcore/emo rhythm guitar.
