Notes
Studio recording, 2015. Lee Malia used his signature Epiphone RD Custom with high output pickups into a Marshall JCM800 2203. Klon Centaur (or clone) used as main overdrive for riff tone. Quad-tracked guitars for thickness. Settings and pedal use confirmed for studio, not live.

Difficulty
The riff requires tight, consistent palm muting and aggressive picking to maintain clarity and punch, especially when quad-tracking. While not technically virtuosic, the precision and stamina needed for the modern metalcore rhythm elevate the difficulty above beginner level.
