Notes
Studio recording, 2002, Deliverance/Damnation era. No evidence of pedals used for the riff section; amp-only tone. Guitar and amp inferred from era and known studio rig. No official rig rundown for this specific song, but consistent with Opeth's studio setup for 'Damnation'.

Difficulty
The riff requires clean articulation, dynamic control, and smooth fingerstyle or hybrid picking, but does not involve advanced techniques or fast passages.
