Notes
Studio recording, 2007 (Underclass Hero). Deryck Whibley used his own Marshall JMP profiled at home for main rhythm tones. No evidence of pedals for riff section; Deryck states 'never use pedals – just guitar and amp.'

Difficulty
The riff requires tight palm muting and dynamic strumming with power chord transitions, but does not involve advanced techniques or fast tempo, making it accessible to intermediate players.
