Notes

Gear confirmed from live performance video at Suhr Factory Party 2015; no direct evidence for studio recording, but this matches Ian Thornley's known rig for this era. No evidence of alternate guitars or amps for the riff section. No explicit studio session details found.

Difficulty

The riff requires intermediate rhythmic control, dynamic picking, and clean articulation of chords with some palm muting, but does not involve advanced lead techniques or extreme speed.
