Notes

Studio recording, 2006. Gear inferred from era-specific Equipboard entries for J.T. Woodruff and Micah Carli, who both used Gibson SGs and Sovtek MIG-100 heads during this album cycle. No evidence of alternate guitars/amps for the main riff section. No pedalboard or effect specifics for this track in studio; live gear may differ.

Difficulty

The riff requires fast, tight alternate picking and palm muting at a high tempo, with precise chord changes and rhythmic accuracy typical of post-hardcore/emo riffing.
