Notes

Studio recording for 'Invincible' (2019, Fear Inoculum album). Adam Jones is confirmed to use his Gibson Les Paul Custom Silverburst with Seymour Duncan pickups into a Mesa/Boogie Dual Rectifier for the main riff. The Fillmore 50 is seen live but not confirmed for the studio track. No evidence of other guitars or amps for the riff section in the studio.

Difficulty

The riff requires advanced palm muting, precise timing, and dynamic control to match the articulation and power of the original recording.
