Notes

Studio recording for 'In The Court Of The Dragon' (2021). Main rhythm guitars quad-tracked with two left/two right. No time-based or modulation effects used in the riff section. Overdrive pedal (Maxon OD808 or similar) used as a boost in front of the amp. Noise gate and EQ pedal also in chain. Pickup selector set to bridge for rhythm. Settings are for studio, not live.

Difficulty

The riff requires fast, accurate alternate picking and tight palm muting at high speed, with precise synchronization for quad-tracked rhythm parts, making it challenging for most players.
