Notes

Studio recording, 2017. Guitar and amp inferred from band interviews, live/studio photos, and typical gear for this era. No direct source confirms exact amp/pickup for this song, but all evidence points to baritone guitars with active EMGs into high-gain amp profiles for the riff.

Difficulty

The riff requires tight, aggressive palm muting and precise picking in a very low tuning, with syncopated rhythms and muting techniques that demand intermediate to advanced control.
