Notes

Studio recording for 'Kill Rock 'n Roll' (2005, Hypnotize album). Clean riff section uses the first-gen Friedman BE-100 head, dedicated to cleans, through Marshall 4x12 cabs with Celestion G12M-70 speakers. No evidence of pedals or effects used for clean riff section. Settings estimated based on amp type and genre. Gear confirmed for studio and live use in this era.

Difficulty

The riff requires tight, syncopated picking and muting for clarity, but does not involve advanced techniques or high speed, making it accessible to intermediate players.
