Notes

Studio recording, 2004. Jim Adkins used his 1979 Marshall JMP Superlead 100 Watt for all albums from 'Clarity' through 'Chase This Light', including 'Futures'. Main guitar for drop C# songs like 'Futures' riff was the Les Paul Studio. No evidence of live rig or alternate amps for this specific recording.

Difficulty

The riff requires tight palm muting and precise rhythm at a moderate tempo, but uses standard power chords and no advanced lead techniques.
