Notes
Studio recording, 2004 (Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge sessions). No direct evidence for clean section gear, but this is the most documented studio rig for Frank Iero on this album. No evidence of alternate guitars or amps for clean sections.

Difficulty
The clean riff is straightforward but requires tight, consistent picking and clean chord changes at a moderate tempo. No advanced techniques are needed, making it accessible to most players with basic rhythm skills.
