Notes
Studio recording, 2023. Chris Shiflett used the Friedman BE-100 for heavier, distorted songs like 'Under You' riff. Gear confirmed by multiple Premier Guitar rig rundowns and 2024 tour rig. Pedalboard and amp setup consistent with current Foo Fighters studio/live rig for this era.

Difficulty
The riff requires tight, fast strumming with palm muting and clarity in a high-gain context, but does not involve advanced techniques or complex chord voicings.
