Notes

Settings and gear are based on studio recording context for 'Instrument Of War' riff section, 2023 era. Guitar Chalk source specifies Telecaster and Blackstar amp for Paleface Swiss's heavy rhythm tones. Effects loop is used for noise gate and optional boost. Settings are for studio context, not live.

Difficulty

The riff requires advanced palm muting, tight alternate picking at high speed, and precise rhythmic control typical of modern deathcore/metalcore, making it challenging for most players.
