Notes

Settings and gear are based on studio recording for 'Infinity on High' (2007). Guitar Chalk and Equipboard both reference the JCM800 and Les Paul Studio/SG as the core studio setup for this era. No evidence of digital modelers or Orange amps for this album. Pickup model is not confirmed for this specific song, so only general humbucker is listed.

Difficulty

The riff requires tight, fast alternate picking with palm muting and syncopated rhythms typical of pop-punk, plus precise timing to lock in with layered guitar tracks.
