Notes

Studio recording, 2012 ('Floral Green' album era). No direct source confirms the exact gear for 'Sympathy' riff, but Jamie Rhoden is documented using a Les Paul Studio into a Vox AC30 for this era. No evidence of alternate guitars/amps for this specific song section.

Difficulty

The riff requires fast, consistent alternate picking and tight palm muting at a high tempo, with dynamic chord changes typical of punk/post-hardcore. While not technically advanced, the speed and precision needed place it at an intermediate level.
