Notes

Studio recording, 2003 (Splinter album). Gear is specific to studio, not live. Guitar and pickup model inferred from era and artist's typical studio use, as no direct source ties exact guitar to 'Hit That' riff. Amp is confirmed for album. No evidence of other pedals except overdrive.

Difficulty

The riff requires tight, aggressive palm muting and precise alternate picking at a moderate tempo, but uses straightforward power chords and rhythm patterns typical of punk rock.
