Notes
Studio recording, 2001. Mike Einziger was known to use a PRS CE24 and Mesa/Boogie Trem-O-Verb for the 'Morning View' album, which includes 'Warning'. No direct evidence of pedal use for the riff section, but phaser is a signature effect in his rig for this era. No evidence of live/touring substitutions for the studio recording.

Difficulty
The riff requires tight, syncopated rhythm playing with dynamic control and integration of phaser modulation, but does not involve advanced lead techniques or complex chord voicings.
