Notes
Studio recording, 2010s+ era. Gear confirmed for Deftones' studio work in this period, but no explicit mention of ~metal dream session. No evidence of alternate guitars/amps for riff section.

Difficulty
The riff requires tight palm muting and precise rhythm to maintain the percussive, articulate attack characteristic of Deftones' modern metal sound. Syncopated patterns and consistent timing add to the challenge.
