Notes

Studio recording for 'Down with the Sickness' (2000). Dan Donegan used a Mesa Boogie Triple Rectifier as his main amp for the album. Guitar is a Gibson Les Paul Standard with stock humbuckers. No evidence of pedal use in the riff section; effects are minimal and tight. Settings estimated based on genre, amp, and era due to lack of explicit numeric data.

Difficulty

The riff requires tight, consistent palm muting and aggressive picking at a moderate tempo, but does not involve advanced techniques or complex chord voicings.
