Notes

Studio recording, 2006-2007 era (Saturday Night Wrist album). Chino Moreno and Stephen Carpenter both used extended range guitars and high-gain amps for the riff section. JMP-1 preamp is confirmed for this era, often into Mesa power amps/cabs. No evidence of live/tour gear or alternate guitars for this specific riff.

Difficulty

The riff requires precise palm muting and rhythmic accuracy on an 8-string guitar, with challenging low-string articulation and syncopation typical of modern metal.
