Notes
Studio recording for 'Riot!' album (2007); settings and gear inferred from interviews, forums, and era-specific evidence. No evidence of pedals used in the studio for the riff section; distortion from amp. Taylor York and Josh Farro both used similar setups for rhythm parts.

Difficulty
The riff requires solid alternate picking, palm muting, and tight rhythm playing at a fast tempo, but does not involve advanced lead techniques or complex chord voicings.
