Notes
Studio recording, 2009 (from 'Witness' album). Guitar and amp inferred from Eric Lambert's known studio rig for this era; no direct confirmation for this exact song, but consistent with band/album period and genre. No evidence of alternate guitars or amps for this riff section.

Difficulty
The riff requires tight, aggressive palm muting and fast alternate picking with precise rhythm, typical of metalcore. Drop C# tuning and technical chug patterns add to the challenge, but it is accessible to intermediate players.
