Notes

Studio recording, circa 2001 (Just Enough Education to Perform album). Gear confirmed for Adam Zindani, who played the main riff live and is seen with this setup; no direct studio session notes found, but this matches era and live rig. No evidence of alternate guitars or amps for this song's riff section.

Difficulty

The riff requires intermediate-level control of dynamics, palm muting, and rhythmic precision to maintain the punchy, articulate groove characteristic of the song.
