Notes
Studio recording, 2003. No direct source confirms exact gear for this song/section, but Les Paul + Mesa/Boogie Dual Rectifier is consistent with Silverstein's early 2000s post-hardcore sound. No evidence of alternate tunings or unusual gear for the riff section.

Difficulty
The riff requires tight, fast alternate picking with aggressive palm muting and precise timing, typical of early 2000s post-hardcore. The technical challenge is above average due to speed and articulation demands.
