Notes
Studio recording, 2010-2011. Jody Davis used a Line 6 POD HD500 for both live and studio work in this era. No evidence of traditional amp/cabinet on this recording; all-in-one digital rig. Guitar confirmed as Epiphone Les Paul for this era, but exact pickup model not specified.

The riff is based on tight, palm-muted power chords with moderate tempo and syncopation, requiring good right-hand control but no advanced techniques.
