Notes

Studio recording, 2002. Gear inferred from era, band interviews, and Equipboard listing for 'I Brought You My Bullets, You Brought Me Your Love'. No direct studio photo evidence for this song, but this was the primary setup for Frank Iero and Ray Toro on the album. No evidence of alternate guitars or amps for the riff section.

Difficulty

The riff requires fast, aggressive picking and tight palm muting, but uses straightforward power chords and rhythm patterns, making it moderately challenging for intermediate players.
