Notes

Studio recording, 2017. Both guitarists used Ibanez 7-string guitars with Seymour Duncan pickups into Mesa/Boogie Dual Rectifier amps. Effects and amp modeling via Line 6 Helix for Robby Baca. Pedalboard includes boost, compressor, octave fuzz, chorus, and noise gate. Settings estimated for studio album tone.

Difficulty

The riff section requires advanced rhythmic precision, tight palm muting, and the ability to maintain clarity in complex chord voicings under high-gain conditions, making it challenging for most players.
