Notes

Studio recording for 'Blackbird' (2007). PRS SC 245 confirmed for riff section by Myles Kennedy. Mesa/Boogie Dual Rectifier is the most cited studio amp for heavy tones on this album, though Diezel amps are used live and on later records. No evidence of Fractal or Axe-Fx on the original studio recording.

Difficulty

The riff requires tight palm muting, fast alternate picking, and precise timing to maintain clarity and aggression, making it challenging for most intermediate players.
