Notes

Studio recording, 2023 for 'Morning View XXIII' (Rerecorded). No direct source confirms the exact guitar/amp for this riff, but PRS CE 24 and Mesa/Boogie Dual Rectifier are strongly associated with Mike Einziger's rhythm tones for both the original and rerecorded versions. No evidence of alternate gear for this section.

Difficulty

The riff requires tight, articulate picking with dynamic palm muting and syncopation, but does not involve advanced lead techniques or extreme speed. The challenge lies in maintaining clarity and groove at a moderately fast tempo.
