Notes

Studio recording, 2013 album 'Transgender Dysphoria Blues'. No direct source confirms exact gear for this song, but Laura Jane Grace is widely documented using Gibson Les Pauls and Marshall JCM800s for distorted rhythm tracks in this era. No evidence of alternate guitars or amps for this riff section.

Difficulty

The riff is built on fast, aggressive power chords with straightforward punk strumming. The main challenge is maintaining tight timing and energy at a fast tempo, but there are no advanced techniques or complex chord voicings.
