Notes

Studio recording for 'Nerdy' (Tear from the Red, 2002). Gear inferred from era-specific interviews and band/album context. No direct studio photo evidence, but multiple sources confirm Les Paul Artisan and Orange Rockerverb 100 as core studio setup for this album. No evidence of live pedalboard or modern amp models being used on the original recording.

Difficulty

The riff requires precise palm muting, fast alternate picking, and tight rhythm playing under high-gain settings, making it moderately challenging for intermediate players.
