Notes

Studio recording, 2005-2006 (10,000 Days sessions). Guitar World confirms Les Paul Custom with SH-4 JB bridge pickup. Multiple amps blended in studio; Bogner Uberschall and Rivera KR7 are specifically cited for this album. Clean section likely uses lower gain settings and digital delay pedals. No evidence of live-specific gear for this section.

Difficulty

The riff requires intermediate skill due to the need for precise timing with multiple delay repeats, clean picking technique, and dynamic control to maintain clarity and atmosphere.
