Notes

Studio recording, 2019. Adam Warrington is the guitarist on the studio recording. Gear confirmed by Premier Guitar and YouTube rig rundown. No evidence of YUNGBLUD SG Junior or acoustic guitars on the studio riff section. Pedalboard includes multiple fuzz/distortion and modulation/time-based effects, but only those audibly present in the riff are included.

Difficulty

The riff is rhythmically driving with syncopated power chords and requires tight, aggressive strumming and palm muting, but does not involve advanced lead techniques or complex chord voicings.
