Notes

Studio recording, 2001. Used for main riff/rhythm on 'Left Behind'. No evidence of live/touring gear or later signature models being used on this recording. Minimal pedal use, mostly amp distortion with possible Tube Screamer-type boost. Mick Thomson's main guitar for the Iowa era was the Ibanez MTM1 with EMG pickups into a Rivera KR100 head.

Difficulty

The riff requires fast, precise alternate picking with heavy palm muting and tight synchronization, making it challenging for most players.
