Notes
Studio recording, 2006. No direct evidence of a physical guitar, amp, or pedal chain used for the riff section; likely a processed/sample-based or synthesized guitar part. No live rig or session photos/interviews confirming gear for this specific part.

Difficulty
The riff is rhythmically simple and repetitive, with no advanced guitar techniques required. The main challenge is replicating the processed tone, not the playing.
