Notes

Studio recording, 2003; Tom DeLonge used his signature Strat with a single Seymour Duncan Invader bridge humbucker into a Mesa/Boogie Triple Rectifier for the Untitled album, including 'I Miss You'. No evidence of pedals for the riff section; effects are likely from the amp or studio processing.

Difficulty

The riff is rhythmically straightforward but requires clean, even picking and good dynamic control to maintain clarity and subtle breakup without noise.
