Notes

No direct evidence for guitar, pickups, or amp used on the studio recording of 'Already Down' by SKARS. No official rig rundown, interview, or photo evidence found. No evidence that Daron Malakian or his gear is involved with SKARS; Source 1 is about System of a Down/Scars on Broadway, not SKARS. All gear fields left as 'Unknown' due to lack of evidence. Year of recording estimated as 2020s based on artist activity.

Difficulty

The riff requires tight, aggressive palm muting and precise rhythmic control typical of modern metal, but does not involve advanced lead techniques or complex chord voicings.
