Notes

Studio recording for 'Jambi' (2006, 10,000 Days album); main riff tracked with Les Paul Custom into Marshall Super Bass, blended with Diezel VH4 and Rivera KR7 for tonal layering. Pickup selector set to bridge. No evidence of additional pedals or effects on the riff section; talk box and octave fuzz are only used in the solo.

Difficulty

The riff requires precise palm muting, dynamic picking, and tight rhythmic control to achieve the percussive, articulate sound. The timing and syncopation add to the technical challenge.
