Notes

Studio recording for 'Hey Mister' (2012). Guitarists BJ Stead and Justin Aufdemkampe both used Jim Root signature Fenders (Strat and Tele) with EMG active pickups. Amp confirmed as EVH 5150 III (see Guitar World interview, 2014, referencing gear used since 'At Heart' era). Orange cabs used. No explicit studio pedalboard for this song found; live rig is similar.

Difficulty

The riff requires fast, accurate picking with tight palm muting and precise rhythm, typical of modern metalcore. While not extremely technical, the speed and tightness demand solid intermediate skills.
