Notes

Studio recording, 2004 remix of 'Rust In Peace'. Guitar is Jackson King V with bridge humbucker. Amp is Marshall JCM800 2203 through Marshall 4x12 cab with Celestion V30 speakers. Pedals include an overdrive (likely Ibanez TS9 or Boss SD-1) and a noise gate. Settings are for the heavy riff section, not live.

Difficulty

The riff section of 'Five Magics' requires fast, precise alternate picking and palm muting at high speed, with complex rhythm changes and tight synchronization, making it highly challenging for most players.
