Notes
Studio recording for 'Phobia' album (2006); gear confirmed for era and album, specifically for rhythm/riff sections. No evidence of pedal use for main riff; tone is amp-driven high-gain. PRS McCarty also used by Aaron Fink for layering, but ESP LTD EC-1000 is primary for Burnley on riff.

Difficulty
The riff requires tight palm muting and precise rhythm, but does not involve advanced lead techniques or complex chord voicings, making it intermediate for most players.
