Notes

Studio recording, 2001-2002 era. Gear inferred from Muse's typical studio setup for this period and the band's known use of the Diezel VH4 and Manson MB-1 for covers and B-sides. No direct source confirms the exact guitar/amp for this specific track, but this is the most probable setup based on era and band practice.

Difficulty

The riff requires precise arpeggiated picking and dynamic control to maintain clarity and avoid unwanted breakup, but does not involve advanced techniques or fast passages.
