Notes

Studio recording, 2002-2003. Stef Carpenter used his Ibanez RG7620 7-string with stock DiMarzio Blaze pickups for the main riff. The amp setup for the self-titled album era was Marshall JMP-1 preamp into Mesa/Boogie Strategy 400 power amp, into Mesa/Boogie 4x12 cabinets. No evidence of live/tour gear or other guitars for this section.

Difficulty

The riff requires fast, tight alternate picking and palm muting on a 7-string, with precise rhythm and muting to maintain clarity at high gain. The syncopated patterns and need for noise control make it challenging for most players.
