Notes

Studio recording, 2008 (from the 'Dark Horse' album sessions). Guitar confirmed as 7-string Explorer for this song's riff. Mesa/Boogie Dual Rectifier is the primary amp used for heavy rhythm tones. Settings are for studio context, not live. Pickup type inferred from Explorer 7-string specs and genre. See Equipboard and Premier Guitar Rig Rundown for confirmation.

Difficulty

The riff requires precise palm muting and rhythmic accuracy, especially with the low B tuning on a 7-string. While not technically advanced, the heaviness and tightness demand solid intermediate technique.
