Notes
Studio recording, 2013. Gear inferred from Equipboard's listing of Ghost's studio setup for the 'Infestissumam' era, which matches the release year of 'If You Have Ghosts'. No direct confirmation for this exact song, but this is the most probable setup for the riff section based on available evidence.

Difficulty
The riff requires moderately tight rhythm playing with palm muting and some syncopation, but does not involve advanced techniques or fast tempo, making it accessible to early intermediate players.
