Notes
Studio recording, 1994 (album: ...And Out Come the Wolves). Guitarist Lars Frederiksen is known to use Les Pauls into Marshall JCM800s for Rancid's classic punk sound. No evidence of pedals or alternate amps for this riff section. Settings are for studio recording, not live.

The riff is fast and requires tight, consistent downstroke strumming and palm muting, but uses basic power chords and straightforward punk rhythm, making it accessible to most players with some experience.
