Notes

Studio recording for 'Blacktop Gone' (2018, Rearview Town album). Gear confirmed from Premier Guitar's Jason Aldean gear rundown for this era. No explicit studio-only pedalboard details for this song, but main riff tone matches live rig. Adam Shoenfeld is the likely session guitarist for the riff, using PRS S2 Singlecut into EVH 5150 III. No evidence of alternate guitars or amps for this riff section.

Difficulty

The riff requires moderately tight palm muting, precise timing, and dynamic pick attack to maintain clarity under gain, but does not involve advanced techniques or fast lead work.
