Notes

Studio recording, 2002. Guitarists Dan Jacobs and Travis Miguel tracked rhythm guitars for 'Lip Gloss and Black' using ESP guitars (Horizon and Eclipse models) with EMG active pickups into Marshall JCM900 heads. No evidence of live/touring rigs or other amp models being used on the original studio recording.

Difficulty

The riff requires fast, accurate alternate picking and aggressive palm muting at a high tempo, with tight synchronization and precise muting for clarity, making it challenging for most intermediate players.
