Notes

Studio recording, 2002. Gear confirmed for New Found Glory's pop-punk riffing in this era. Settings adapted from similar NFG studio tones; no direct source for 'Forget My Name' but strong evidence from band/era.

Difficulty

The riff requires fast, tight palm muting and aggressive alternate picking, but uses straightforward power chords and rhythm patterns typical of pop-punk.
