Notes

Studio recording for 'Famous' (2007); guitar and amp confirmed for this album/era by Equipboard and live images. No evidence of alternate guitars or amps for the riff section. Marshall JCM800 also used by the band, but Mesa/Boogie Triple Rectifier is most consistently cited for this era and album.

Difficulty

The riff requires tight palm muting and precise timing to maintain clarity under high gain, but uses straightforward power chords and rhythm, making it accessible to intermediate players.
