Notes

Studio recording, 2023. Gear inferred from known studio usage for 'One More Time...' era and Tom DeLonge's consistent use of this setup for main rhythm tracks. No direct evidence for pedals or alternate amps for this specific song/section.

Difficulty

The riff is straightforward but requires tight, fast downstrokes and palm muting typical of modern pop-punk rhythm playing.
