Notes

Studio recording for 'Meliora' (2015). Interview confirms two SGs (early 80s and 60s), a Les Paul Gold Top (1962), and a Fender Telecaster were used for rhythm tracks. Amps included at least two Marshall Plexis, a JCM800, at least one Orange, and a Fender Twin. No explicit mention of pedals or effects for the riff section. Settings estimated based on era, amp type, and genre.

Difficulty

The riff is moderately challenging due to its heavy, percussive palm muting and need for tight timing with the bass, but does not require advanced lead techniques or fast alternate picking.
