Notes

Studio recording for 'Damnation' (2002-2003). Capo on 2nd fret for riff section. No evidence of alternate guitars or amps for the clean riff. Acoustic guitars were used elsewhere on the album, but the main clean riff is electric. No evidence of pedal use for clean tone in studio; live setups may differ.

Difficulty

The riff requires precise fingerstyle technique, smooth chord transitions with a capo, and dynamic control to maintain the clean, expressive tone.
