Notes

Studio recording for 'Custer' (2014, .5: The Gray Chapter). Jim Root used his signature Telecaster with EMG pickups. Mick Thomson blended his Rivera KR7 signature amp with a Marshall JCM800 for the main riff tone, both boosted with a Maxon OD-820. No evidence of live rig or alternate guitars for this specific recording.

Difficulty

The main riff of 'Custer' requires advanced right-hand technique for fast, tight palm muting and precise alternate picking at high speed, with complex syncopated rhythms and minimal margin for error.
