Notes

Studio recording, 2004-2005. Gear confirmed for studio use on 'Jesus of Suburbia' via Equipboard and documentary footage. Settings are for the main riff/rhythm section, not the solo. No evidence of pedal use for core rhythm tone; distortion is amp-based.

Difficulty

The riff requires solid rhythm technique, fast chord changes, and tight palm muting, but does not involve advanced lead or complex fingerings.
