Notes

Studio recording, 2020 album 'The New Abnormal'. No direct evidence for pedals in riff section; most sources reference reverb and octave effects, but octave is not clearly audible in the riff. Nick Valensi is the likely guitarist for the riff. No evidence of live-specific gear for this section.

Difficulty

The riff requires tight timing and clean articulation, but uses straightforward chord shapes and moderate tempo, making it accessible to intermediate players.
