Notes

Studio recording, 2009. Guitar confirmed from music video and Equipboard. Amp is Axe-Fx II with dual amp models per interviews; exact amp model setting not specified but genre and era suggest high-gain Mesa/Peavey emulation. No evidence of traditional tube amp or analog pedals on the original studio recording.

Difficulty

The riff section of 'CAFO' is extremely technical, requiring mastery of polyrhythms, tight palm muting, and advanced 8-string technique at high speed. The combination of rhythmic complexity and physical demands places it at the expert level.
