Notes

Studio recording, 2006 (The Black Parade). Frank Iero used his white Epiphone Les Paul Custom 'Pansy' for rhythm tracks. Orange Rockerverb 100 was the main amp for the Black Parade era. Settings estimated based on typical Orange amp usage and genre. Pedals confirmed from era interviews and tone guides.

Difficulty

The riff requires fast, aggressive alternate picking and tight palm muting, demanding good right-hand control and precise timing to maintain the song's drive and articulation.
