Notes

Studio recording for 'Wasting Light' (2011); Dave Grohl's main guitar for this era was the Gibson DG-335, and Mesa/Boogie Road King II is confirmed for overdriven tones. Settings are estimated based on typical Foo Fighters studio workflow and genre. No evidence of alternate guitars or amps for the main riff section.

Difficulty

The riff requires solid palm muting and tight rhythm playing at a moderate tempo, but does not involve advanced lead techniques or complex chord shapes.
