Notes

Studio recording for 'Fortress' (2013). Mark Tremonti is known for using his PRS Tremonti Signature guitar and Mesa/Boogie Dual Rectifier amps in the studio for Alter Bridge's heavy riff sections. No direct evidence of live or alternate gear for this specific riff section. No explicit pedal use confirmed for the main riff in studio; effects are minimal and focused on amp gain.

Difficulty

The main riff of 'Cry of Achilles' is technically demanding due to its fast alternate picking, intricate palm muting, and complex rhythmic structure, requiring advanced right-hand control and left-hand dexterity.
