Notes
Studio recording for 'Darker Side' riff section, from the 2017 album 'Signs'. No pedals or effects used; guitar tone knob rolled all the way down for fuzz-like effect. Confirmed by artist interview. No evidence of live rig or alternate gear for this section.

Difficulty
The riff requires intermediate control over dynamics and articulation to manage the amp's edge-of-breakup response and the unique fuzz-like tone from the guitar's tone knob being at zero. Groove and muting are essential for clarity.
