Notes

Studio recording, 2009 (Constellations album). Peavey 6505+ confirmed for rhythm tones on original studio recording. Guitarist JB Brubaker is known to use ESP LTD EC-1000 with EMG pickups for rhythm sections. No evidence of different gear for 'Meridian' riff section. No pedal boost confirmed for rhythm, only for leads.

Difficulty

The riff requires tight, articulate picking and palm muting at a moderate tempo, with some string skipping and rhythmic complexity, making it challenging for intermediate players but not at an expert level.
