Notes
Studio recording for 'Out Of Our Heads' (2013, Signed and Sealed in Blood). Sources suggest Les Paul Standard and Marshall JCM800/DSL100 for main riff. No evidence of pedal use for rhythm/riff; overdrive/distortion from amp. Settings from Guitar Chalk are for studio/riff context.

Difficulty
The riff requires fast, aggressive downstrokes and tight palm muting typical of punk rhythm guitar, but does not involve complex chord voicings or advanced techniques.
