Notes

Studio recording, 2003. Guitar confirmed as Gibson SG-X for 'The Bitter End' era. No definitive amp model or studio pedalboard for the riff section found in sources. Pedal use inferred from genre, era, and audible tone. Settings estimated based on typical alternative rock studio setups of early 2000s.

Difficulty

The riff requires fast, consistent alternate picking with tight palm muting and precise timing to maintain the song's driving rhythm, making it moderately challenging for intermediate players.
