Notes

Studio recording, 2013-2014 era (The Gray Chapter sessions). Jim Root is confirmed to use his signature Fender Telecaster with EMG pickups and Orange Rockerverb amps for Slipknot's heavy rhythm tones on this album. No evidence of additional pedals for the main riff section; distortion is primarily from the amp and active pickups.

Difficulty

The riff requires fast, accurate palm muting and alternate picking at a high tempo, with tight rhythm synchronization and noise control, making it challenging for most players.
