Notes

Settings and gear inferred from live rig (Equipboard, YouTube Gear Masters Ep. 72) and genre/era. Studio recording for 'Courtesy Call' (2012, The End Is Where We Begin). No direct studio session details found; high confidence in Orange Rockerverb MKII for heavy riff tone based on live/studio continuity for this band.

Difficulty

The riff requires tight palm muting and aggressive, consistent picking, but uses straightforward power chords and moderate tempo, making it accessible to intermediate players.
