Notes

Studio recording for 'Transmission Home' (2014). Gear inferred from era, band member interviews, and genre conventions. No direct studio documentation found for this specific track, but Ryan Mendez is documented using Les Pauls with Seymour Duncan pickups and Mesa/Boogie Dual Rectifiers for main rhythm tones in this period.

Difficulty

The riff requires fast, consistent alternate picking and tight palm muting for clarity and punch, but uses straightforward power chord shapes and rhythm patterns typical of modern pop-punk.
