Notes

Studio recording for 'Teenagers' (2006, The Black Parade). Ray Toro used his Epiphone Les Paul Custom with stock humbuckers into a Marshall JCM2000 DSL100 head and Marshall 1960A 4x12 cab. No evidence of additional pedals or effects for the main riff section. Frank Iero played rhythm on a Gibson Les Paul Studio through a Marshall JCM2000 DSL100 for the same session, but Ray's lead/riff tone is the focus here.

Difficulty

The riff is rhythmically straightforward but requires tight palm muting, consistent picking, and clean powerchord transitions to sound authentic. No advanced techniques, but precision and energy are key.
