Notes

Studio recording, 2018 (Dictator album era). Daron Malakian has stated in interviews and gear rundowns that for Scars on Broadway recordings, he primarily used his 1962 Gibson Les Paul SG Standard into a Friedman-modded Marshall JMP100. No evidence of live or alternate gear for this specific song's riff section.

Difficulty

The riff requires intermediate-level technique due to its tight palm muting, aggressive attack, and precise rhythm, but does not involve advanced lead work or complex chord voicings.
