Notes

Studio recording, 2009 (We Stitch These Wounds album). No direct evidence of pedal use for clean tone; amp likely used for clean sections. Jinxx mentions PODxt for demos, but album recording used Marshall JCM800 and possibly Mesa/Boogie Road King for other parts. Settings estimated for clean section, not distorted riff.

Difficulty

The clean riff is straightforward, using basic chords and picking at a moderate tempo, with no advanced techniques or complex rhythms.
