Studio recording, 2008. No direct evidence of amp model or pedals used on the original studio recording. Guitar model inferred from era-appropriate live and promo photos, but not 100% confirmed for the studio take.

Difficulty

The riff is rhythmically tight and requires good palm muting and chord accuracy, but uses straightforward power chords and moderate tempo, making it accessible to most players with some experience.
