Notes

Studio recording, 2019 (album: Rewind, Replay, Rebound). Rob Caggiano's rig for the riff section uses his signature Jackson Shadowcaster with DiMarzio pickups into a Fryette Sig:X amp, controlled via a Skrydstrup rack system. No pedals are used onstage or in the main signal chain for the riff; effects are rack-based or from the amp. Settings are estimated based on genre, amp, and era due to lack of explicit numbers.

Difficulty

The riff requires tight, aggressive palm muting and precise alternate picking at a moderate tempo, with syncopated rhythms and consistent articulation, making it moderately challenging for intermediate players.
