Notes

Studio recording, 1999. Tom DeLonge used his signature Stratocaster with a single Seymour Duncan Invader bridge pickup into a Marshall JCM900 4100 for the Enema of the State album. No evidence of pedals for the riff section; amp reverb used. Settings estimated based on era, genre, and amp type due to lack of explicit numeric values.

Difficulty

The riff requires fast alternate picking and precise string skipping, with tight palm muting and rhythmic accuracy to capture the pop-punk drive.
