Notes

Studio recording for 'Epitaph' album (2004). Guitarist Muhammed Suiçmez used the Ibanez LACS Xiphos 7 with EMG 707 pickups into an ENGL Powerball head, likely into a Vader 4x12 cabinet. No evidence of pedals for the rhythm/riff section; tone is direct, tight, and precise. Settings are based on forum posts and typical genre/amp use for the era.

Difficulty

The riff section of 'Epitaph' is considered expert-level due to its high speed, technical picking patterns, and demand for precise synchronization and articulation.
