Notes

Studio recording, 2023 (Saviors album). Gear inferred from Premier Guitar 2024 rig rundown and Equipboard photo evidence for Saviors sessions. Jason White's rig is detailed for live, but Billie Joe Armstrong is primary soloist on studio track. No explicit studio pedalboard photo, but Strymon TimeLine and MXR Reverb are confirmed in Jason White's live rig for Saviors era.

Difficulty

The solo requires intermediate technique with tight picking, palm muting, and control of sustain in a high-gain context, but does not involve advanced speed or complex phrasing.
