Notes

Studio recording, 2017. Steve Lacy recorded guitar parts for 'Dark Red' directly into his iPhone using GarageBand, with no physical amplifier or traditional pedalboard. Tone was shaped in-the-box with DAW amp sims and effects. No evidence of a live amp or pedalboard for the original studio riff section.

Difficulty

The riff requires tight, syncopated rhythm playing with clean muting and articulation, but does not involve advanced techniques or fast passages.
