Notes

Studio recording, 2013 era (Hail to the King album). Gear confirmed for Avenged Sevenfold's 'Hail to the King' riff section via Equipboard. No evidence of additional pedals or effects for the main riff; focus is on amp distortion. No evidence of live-specific gear or alternate guitars for the riff section.

Difficulty

The riff requires tight, aggressive palm muting and precise alternate picking at a moderate tempo, with syncopated rhythms typical of modern metal. While not technically advanced, it demands solid right-hand technique and timing.
