Notes
Studio recording, 2016 (Revolution Radio album). Gear inferred from Billie Joe Armstrong's documented studio setup for this album. No evidence of pedal use for main riff; signal is guitar straight into amp. No explicit pedalboard or effect chain for this song's riff section found in sources.

The riff is straightforward, relying on power chords and tight rhythm, with some palm muting and dynamic picking, but no complex techniques or fast passages.
