Notes

Studio recording, 2002 (Perseverance album). Rhythm/riff section is straight into the Marshall amp, no pedals used for rhythm. TS9 Tube Screamer was tried but not used for rhythm, only for solos. MXR Wylde Overdrive used for solos only. Two Marshall heads were blended in the studio for this album, but rhythm tone is primarily straight Les Paul Custom with EMGs into Marshall head. No mention of effects loop or additional effects for rhythm section.

Difficulty

The riff requires fast, tight palm-muted picking and precise rhythm, typical of metalcore. While not technically advanced in terms of lead playing, the speed and tightness demand solid right-hand technique and stamina.
