Notes

Studio recording, 2018-2019 for 'Fear Inoculum'. Adam Jones is confirmed to use the Les Paul Custom Silverburst and Mesa/Boogie Fillmore 50 for clean tones on 'Invincible' (studio/live). No evidence of alternate guitars or amps for the clean riff section. Pickup choice inferred from typical Adam Jones setup and live footage. No explicit pedalboard evidence for the clean section.

Difficulty

The clean riff requires precise picking and dynamic control to maintain clarity and articulation, with syncopated rhythms adding to the challenge.
