Notes

Studio recording, 2008. Satchel has stated in interviews that for the album he used a Charvel with Seymour Duncan humbuckers into a Marshall JCM2000 with no pedals or reverb, just the amp cranked for distortion. No evidence of additional pedals or effects for the main riff section. Settings estimated based on typical Marshall JCM2000 use for 2000s metal/hard rock and Satchel's own comments. Pickup selection inferred from genre and riff tone.

Difficulty

The riff requires fast, accurate alternate picking and tight palm muting at a high tempo, demanding good right-hand technique and timing, but does not involve advanced lead techniques or complex chord voicings.
