Notes

Studio recording for 'Painkiller' (2014). Guitarist Barry Stock confirmed using a Gibson SG Junior 60's for the riff section and a Diezel VH4 amp in the studio. Bixonic Expandora pedal was used for distortion/fuzz. No evidence of additional pedals or modulation/time-based effects for the riff section.

Difficulty

The riff requires tight palm muting and precise picking to maintain clarity and aggression at a moderate tempo, but does not involve advanced techniques or complex chord voicings.
