Notes

Studio recording for 'Face to the Floor' (2011, Hats Off to the Bull). Pete Loeffler is known to use the PRS Mushok Baritone for drop tunings and heavy riffing in this era. Mesa/Boogie Dual Rectifier is confirmed as his main studio amp for heavy tones. Settings are based on sourced Chevelle-specific amp settings and typical studio usage for this song/era.

Difficulty

The riff requires tight, aggressive palm muting and precise rhythm in a drop C tuning on a baritone guitar, with high-gain clarity and noise control. While not technically virtuosic, the tone and rhythmic precision demand intermediate to advanced control.
