Notes

Studio recording, 2024. Neil Westfall used Kemper Profiler with profiles based on his EVH 5150 III for the album 'The Least You Can Do'. Tube Screamer used in front of amp for riff tone. No evidence of additional pedals or effects for the riff section. Settings estimated based on typical 5150 III metal tones with Tube Screamer boost. Pickup and guitar confirmed for studio use on this album.

Difficulty

The riff requires tight, fast palm muting and precise alternate picking at a high tempo, with syncopated rhythms typical of modern metalcore, making it moderately challenging for intermediate players.
