Notes

No direct evidence for studio amp or pedals for the original recording. The only gear mention is a fan playing the song live with an '03 Gibson SG Special through a Line 6 POD Go into a Fender Rumble 25. Studio recording likely used a high-gain tube amp typical of 2000s post-hardcore. Year of recording: 2007 (from album release).

Difficulty

The riff requires tight, fast palm muting and precise rhythm work typical of post-hardcore, with aggressive picking and syncopation, making it moderately challenging for intermediate players.
