Notes

Studio recording for 'Fly Over States' (2011 album 'My Kinda Party'). Kurt Allison (Aldean's guitarist) used the EVH Wolfgang Custom with Seymour Duncan humbuckers and an EVH 5150 III amp for the main riff. Effects and pedalboard details are drawn from Premier Guitar and Sweetwater rig rundowns for this era. No evidence of Telecaster or single-coil use on this track's riff section.

Difficulty

The riff requires tight timing, palm muting, and dynamic control typical of modern country rhythm playing, but does not involve advanced lead techniques or fast picking.
