Notes

Studio recording for 'Alone' (2007-2008 era, Scream Aim Fire album). Michael Paget is confirmed to use ESP LTD EC-1000QM with EMG 81/60 pickups and Peavey 5150 amps for rhythm/riff sections. Settings are based on forum consensus and typical metal usage for this era. No evidence of live/touring gear or alternate guitars for this specific riff section.

Difficulty

The riff requires fast, accurate alternate picking with tight palm muting and precise rhythm, typical of modern metal. String skipping and rapid chord changes add to the technical challenge.
