Notes

Studio recording, 2008. Taylor York used a Fender American Deluxe Telecaster into a Marshall JCM2000 DSL100 for the main riff/distorted sections. No evidence of alternate guitars or amps for the riff section. No confirmed pedalboard for the studio session; live rigs differ.

Difficulty

The riff requires precise palm muting, fast alternate picking, and tight timing to match the aggressive, syncopated rhythm. While not technically advanced, the speed and articulation demand solid intermediate technique.
