Notes

Studio recording, 2007. Source mentions Squier Affinity Strat used for entire Anberlin tour and heavy use of Helix for amp/pedal modeling. No explicit mention of studio amp, but Helix is likely for both live and studio. No evidence of boutique or vintage amps for this track.

Difficulty

The riff requires tight palm muting, syncopated rhythm accuracy, and dynamic picking, making it moderately challenging for intermediate players.
