Notes

Studio recording, 2006 (from the album 'Enter'). Settings and gear confirmed for the original studio recording of 'Death Rides a Horse' riff section. Pickup selector: bridge. No evidence of additional gain/distortion pedals for the heavy riff section; overdrive/distortion comes from amp gain. Delay pedal is present in the chain.

Difficulty

The riff requires tight, palm-muted chugging with precise timing and dynamic control, as well as fast alternate picking and string skipping, making it moderately challenging for intermediate players.
