From Your Favorite Weapon (2001). A fast, pop-punk-flavored song with bright, crunchy power chords and a shouted chorus. No source available here confirms the exact guitar and amp on this recording, so a Fender American Professional II Stratocaster through a Marshall JCM800 2203 stands in. Use the bridge pickup and set the amp for a classic hard-rock crunch. Tuning isn't documented here.
