Notes

Studio recording for 'Dear Agony' (2009); Soldano SLO 100 confirmed for heavy tones on the album, PRS Standard 22 likely used for main rhythm/riff parts. Marshall JCM2000 also used on the album but primarily for cleans/crunch, not main riff. Randall and Hughes & Kettner amps were used in earlier eras, not this album.

Difficulty

The riff requires intermediate-level technique due to its tight palm muting, precise picking, and syncopated rhythms, but does not involve advanced lead work or complex chord voicings.
