Notes
Studio recording, 2000 (Chocolate Starfish and the Hot Dog Flavored Water era). Guitar is down-tuned (C# Standard). All gear confirmed for studio use on this song/era. No evidence of live/touring substitutions for the riff section.

tight and percussivescooped midsaggressive palm mutinghigh-gain saturationarticulate riff claritythick distortionmodern, punchy attackcontrolled low endslightly compressednot overly bright
Difficulty
The riff requires tight, aggressive palm muting, fast alternate picking, and precise control over muting and noise, especially on a down-tuned 7-string. While not virtuosic, it demands solid intermediate technique and rhythmic accuracy.
