Notes
Studio recording, 2001 (album: Just Enough Education to Perform). Gear confirmed for era and band but not for this specific song in the studio; however, Orange amps and Gibson Les Pauls are strongly associated with the main riff sound. No evidence of live rig differences for this song's riff.

The riff is based on straightforward power chords and rhythmic strumming, but requires tight timing and dynamic control for the punchy, driving feel.
