Notes

Studio recording, 2002 (album release year). No direct evidence for exact guitar/amp model for 'Waiting' riff, but Trapt's guitarist in this era was often seen with PRS and Les Paul guitars and high-gain amps typical for early 2000s alternative/nu-metal. No evidence of live rig or alternate gear for this song.

Difficulty

The riff requires tight palm muting and consistent rhythm, but does not involve advanced techniques or fast lead playing. Moderate difficulty for intermediate players.
