Notes

Studio recording for 'Neverender' (from 'In Keeping Secrets of Silent Earth: 3', 2003). Travis Stever used a Gibson Les Paul Custom Black Beauty with EMG pickups into a Mesa/Boogie Mark V, as confirmed by Premier Guitar and Equipboard. No evidence of live rig or alternate amps for the original studio riff tone.

Difficulty

The riff requires tight, aggressive palm muting and precise alternate picking at a moderate tempo, with syncopated rhythms and dynamic control to maintain clarity and punch.
