Notes

Studio recording, 2002. Gear confirmed for Sticks and Stones era: Chad Gilbert used a Stratocaster HSS and Mesa/Boogie Dual Rectifier for heavy rhythm tones. No confirmed pedal use for riff section; distortion from amp. Pickup choice inferred from genre and typical NFG setup. No evidence of additional pedals or effects for riff section.

Difficulty

The riff requires fast, tight palm muting and accurate power chord transitions at a high tempo, but uses standard punk techniques without advanced lead work.
