Notes

Studio recording for 'The Joy of Motion' (2014). Tosin Abasi is confirmed to have used his Ibanez TAM100 8-string with DiMarzio Ionizer pickups and Fractal Axe-Fx II for amp and effects modeling. No evidence of traditional tube amp or cab miking for the album. Settings are estimated based on genre, era, and typical AAL tones. No explicit pickup selector info found, but bridge pickup is standard for riff sections.

Difficulty

The riff section of 'Kascade' is extremely technical, requiring mastery of 8-string technique, rapid alternate picking, complex rhythms, and precise muting. Only advanced players with strong progressive metal skills will be able to play it cleanly.
