Notes

Studio recording, 2007 (Avenged Sevenfold self-titled album). Guitar and amp confirmed in 'making of Critical Acclaim' video and Equipboard. Settings estimated due to lack of explicit studio knob values. No evidence of live/touring gear or alternate guitars for riff section.

Difficulty

The riff requires fast alternate picking, tight palm muting, and precise rhythm, making it challenging for most players. The tempo and technical demands place it at a 'hard' difficulty.
