Notes

Studio recording for '¡Tré!' (2012). Billie Joe Armstrong is known to use his signature Les Paul Junior with a single P-90 pickup and a pair of modified Marshall Plexi 1959SLPs in the studio for this era. No evidence of alternate guitars or amps for this song's riff section. No evidence of pedal-based drive for the main riff; distortion is amp-based.

Difficulty

The riff requires tight palm muting and fast, consistent power chord changes at a medium-fast tempo, but does not involve advanced techniques or complex rhythms.
