Notes

Studio recording, White Pony album (2000). Guitar and amp confirmed for White Pony era heavy tracks. No direct evidence of pedals or effects for 'Korea' riff, but amp and guitar are confirmed for album. Pickup choice inferred from genre and typical Deftones setup.

Difficulty

The riff requires precise palm muting and rhythmic accuracy with high-gain clarity, especially in drop tuning, but does not involve advanced lead techniques or extreme speed.
