Notes
Studio recording, 2010 (Twilight of the Thunder God/Live for the Kill era). The Kemper Profiler was used to capture a Peavey 6505 with a Maxon OD808 in front. Rhythm tone is the main focus for the riff section. No evidence of live rig or alternate guitars for this studio recording.

The riff requires advanced palm muting at high speed, tight synchronization with another guitarist, and precise rhythm changes, making it challenging for most players.
