Notes
Studio recording, 2025. Gear inferred from Equipboard and Guitar Chalk as used by Barry Stock for Three Days Grace's modern recordings. No direct confirmation for 'Alienation' session, but consistent with band's recent heavy rhythm tones.

Difficulty
The riff requires tight palm muting and precise rhythm, with aggressive picking to maintain the song's heavy, articulate sound. While not technically advanced, the tone and timing demand solid intermediate skills.
