Notes

Studio recording for 'Kings and Queens' (2009, 'This Is War' album). Tomo Milicevic used a Kemper Profiling Amp in the studio, profiling his main amps and effects. Guitar is confirmed as Gibson SG Standard with stock pickups. No explicit evidence for other guitars or amps for the riff section. No evidence of live/touring rig being used for the studio recording.

Difficulty

The riff requires moderate technical skill due to syncopated rhythms, precise chord changes, and dynamic control to maintain the atmospheric, layered sound.
