Notes
Studio recording, 2000. Guitarist Paul Allender used his PRS SE Paul Allender Signature with stock humbuckers. Amp inferred from era and interviews referencing Marshall JCM800 as the preferred studio amp for this period. No direct evidence of pedal use for the riff section; focus is on amp distortion.

Difficulty
The riff section is challenging due to its fast tempo, aggressive palm muting, and the need for precise timing and tightness, especially when synchronizing with the drums and executing rapid rhythm changes.
