Notes

Studio recording for 'Homesick' (2009). Neil Westfall confirmed use of EVH 5150 III and Tube Screamer in front for heavy rhythm tones. No evidence of other pedals or amp models used for this specific song/section. Guitar is baritone scale, drop tuning likely. Settings are estimated based on typical 5150 III usage for this genre and era. No evidence of effects loop or additional modulation/time-based effects for the riff section.

Difficulty

The riff requires fast, accurate picking and tight palm muting at a high tempo, with precise rhythm and aggressive attack typical of metalcore. The use of drop tuning and power chords adds to the technical challenge.
