Notes

Studio recording, 2004-2005. Gear based on multiple rig rundowns and interviews for the 'From Under the Cork Tree' album. Joe Trohman is confirmed to have used a Gibson Les Paul Standard into a Sunn Model T for the main riff/rhythm parts. No evidence of Telecaster or PRS on the original studio recording for this song section.

Difficulty

The riff requires tight, consistent palm muting and fast alternate picking at a medium-fast tempo, with syncopated rhythms typical of pop-punk. While not technically advanced, the precision and stamina required place it at an intermediate level.
