Notes

Studio recording for 'i think about you all the time' (riff section), from Deftones' 2025 album 'Private Music'. Stef Carpenter used his new Kiesel Vader 8-string for the first time in the studio, with his Bogner Uber Ultra tube head as the main amp. Settings were dialed in by his tech during tracking. No evidence of live rig or alternate guitars/amps for this song section.

Difficulty

The riff requires control of a low-tuned 8-string, tight palm muting, and rhythmic precision, as well as managing ambient effects for the song's atmospheric quality.
