Notes

Studio recording, 2007, Riot! album. Guitar and amp inferred from Taylor York's and Josh Farro's studio gear lists for the Riot! era. No direct evidence of pedal use for the riff section; wah pedal is noted for verses, not riff. Strings: Ernie Ball Regular Slinky 10-46.

The riff requires intermediate skill due to its fast tempo, consistent strumming, and the need for tight, articulate chord changes with dynamic control.
