Notes
Studio recording, 1994. Gear confirmed for 'Dookie' album sessions, which includes 'She'. No evidence of pedal use for main riff; overdrive/distortion comes from amp and studio blend. No chorus, delay, or modulation audible in riff section.

Difficulty
The riff requires tight palm muting and fast, accurate power chord changes at a medium tempo, but uses straightforward punk techniques without advanced lead work.
