Notes
Studio recording, 2003 (self-titled album). Tom DeLonge used his signature ES-333 with a single Seymour Duncan SH-6 Distortion pickup into a Mesa/Boogie Triple Rectifier for the main riff. No evidence of live rig or alternate guitars for this section.

Difficulty
The riff requires fast, consistent alternate picking and tight palm muting at a high tempo, but uses straightforward power chords and rhythm patterns typical of intermediate-level pop-punk.
