Notes

Studio recording for 'Everytime I Die' (2003, 'Hate Crew Deathroll' album). Used Lee Jackson GP-1000 preamp into Marshall power amp with Marshall 1960 cabs. Guitar is ESP Alexi Laiho signature with EMG HZ H4 passive pickup. No reverb used, chorus sometimes used for solos. Settings and effects are for studio, not live.

Difficulty

The solo features extremely fast alternate picking, sweep picking, and string skipping at high tempo, requiring advanced technical skill and precise articulation.
