Studio recording, 2006-2007. Brad Delson is known to have used PRS Custom 24 guitars and Mesa/Boogie Dual Rectifier amps for the heavy riff sections on Minutes to Midnight, including 'No More Sorrow'. No direct studio photo for this song, but this is widely cited for this era and album. No evidence of live or alternate gear for the original studio recording.

Difficulty

The riff requires fast, tight alternate picking and palm muting at a high tempo, demanding precision and stamina typical of modern metal rhythm guitar.
