Studio recording, 2000-2001. The 'guitar' riff is actually a Korg Trident synth, not a real guitar, processed with effects and resampling. No evidence of a traditional guitar, pickups, or amp used for the riff section.

Difficulty

While the original is a synth part, playing this riff on guitar at tempo with the required precision and articulation is challenging, especially due to the speed and rhythmic complexity.
