Notes

Studio recording for 'Higher' (1999). Mark Tremonti is widely documented to have used his PRS Tremonti Signature guitar and Mesa/Boogie Triple Rectifier for Creed's 'Human Clay' album, which includes 'Higher'. No evidence of alternate guitars or amps for the main riff section in the studio. Live rigs may differ.

Difficulty

The riff requires intermediate skill due to its tight, percussive palm muting, dynamic picking, and control of string noise for clarity.
