Notes
Studio recording, 2006-2007 era, used for riff section of 'My Way Home Is Through You'. No evidence of alternate guitars or amps for this part; Ray Toro's Les Paul Standard into Marshall JCM800 is confirmed for this era and style. No evidence of live-specific substitutions.

Difficulty
The riff requires tight, aggressive alternate picking and palm muting at a fast tempo, with precise chord changes typical of modern punk/rock, but does not involve advanced lead techniques.
