Notes

Studio recording, 2012 album 'Collide With the Sky'. Guitar and amp inferred from typical Pierce the Veil studio setup for this era and genre; no direct source confirms exact gear for this song, but Les Paul Custom with EMGs and Mesa/Boogie Dual Rectifier are widely documented for Vic Fuentes during this period.

Difficulty

The riff requires fast, tight palm muting and precise alternate picking at a high tempo, with some string skipping and rhythmic accuracy needed for the modern post-hardcore style.
