Notes

Studio recording for 'I Won't Give In' (2015). Guitarist Ben Bruce is seen using a Gibson Les Paul in live footage for this era. Joey Sturgis produced the album and is known to use the JST Toneforge Menace amp sim for heavy rhythm tones. No evidence of a real amp being used for the studio rhythm tracks; all evidence points to amp sim. No explicit pickup model or selector position found, but Les Paul bridge humbucker is standard for this style. No explicit pedal use confirmed for the studio rhythm tone.

Difficulty

The riff requires precise palm muting, fast alternate picking, and tight rhythm synchronization, making it moderately challenging for intermediate players.
