Notes

Studio recording, 2013-2014 (Mind Over Matter album sessions). Gear confirmed for Eric Cannata, who played the main riff. No evidence of alternate guitars or amps for this section. No explicit pedalboard photo for this song, but pedalboard from this era is referenced in Premier Guitar and Equipboard.

Difficulty

The riff is not technically complex but requires clean fingerstyle technique, dynamic control, and subtlety to maintain the song's atmospheric feel.
