Notes

Studio recording, 2000/2001. Guitar confirmed from Equipboard and live footage. Amp not explicitly confirmed for studio, but JCM800 is strongly suggested by genre, era, and producer Bob Marlette's known preferences. No evidence of pedal use for the main riff; tone is high-gain, tight, and dry. Drop Db tuning.

Difficulty

The riff is rhythmically tight and requires consistent palm muting and fast alternate picking, but uses straightforward power chords and patterns typical of nu metal.
