Notes

Studio recording for 'Give It All' (2004, 'Siren Song of the Counter Culture'). Guitar and amp confirmed by multiple rig rundowns and interviews for this album era. Settings are based on forum posts, gear guides, and typical punk/hardcore setups for this amp. No evidence of alternate guitars or amps for the main riff section.

Difficulty

The riff requires fast, consistent alternate picking and tight palm muting at a high tempo, demanding stamina and rhythmic precision typical of punk/hardcore guitar work.
