Notes
Studio recording, 2004-2005. Gear confirmed for 'Lullabies to Paralyze' sessions and visible in studio footage. No evidence of alternate guitars or amps for the main riff section. Not a typical guitar amp—PA head used for unique tone.

Difficulty
The riff is rhythmically tight and requires precise muting and timing, but does not involve advanced techniques or fast playing. Managing the fuzz pedal's response adds a moderate challenge.
