MUSIC: How “advanced” is this guitar riff?

Listen to this song from 0:00 to 0:14

That intro riff that the lead guitar is doing, how “advanced” or “complex” is the lead riff?

Not really, just four chord string skipping while simple fretting, it only sounds complicated by the fast 4/4 timing.

Thanks! Now structurally, how complex is this song? Sorry, I’m really into punk rock.
