Notes

Studio recording, 2004. Mark Morton and Willie Adler both used Mesa/Boogie Mark IV amps for the album 'Ashes of the Wake'. Morton primarily used his Jackson Dominion signature guitar, but also mentions using a Gibson Les Paul with EverTune bridge for some tracks. Settings are for studio, not live. Minimal pedal use; focus on amp tone.

Difficulty

The riff section requires tight, fast alternate picking and aggressive palm muting at high speed, with complex rhythm changes and precise timing, making it challenging for most players.
