Notes

Studio recording, 2023-2024 (from the album 'I Want To Disappear'). No direct evidence for alternate guitars/amps for the clean riff section; Les Paul + JCM800 is the most cited TSSF studio setup for both clean and dirty tones. No evidence of alternate pickup swaps or amp changes for clean sections.

Difficulty

The clean riff requires precise picking and muting to maintain clarity and tightness, but does not involve advanced techniques or fast tempo, making it accessible to intermediate players.
