Notes

Studio recording, 2003. Guitarist Trevor McNevan is confirmed to have used the PRS Mike Mushok SE Baritone on the album 'The End Is Where We Begin' (2012), but Equipboard and live evidence suggest this model was also used for earlier albums including 'Phenomenon' (2003). The Orange Rockerverb MKII is associated with TFK guitarists in both studio and live contexts, but direct confirmation for the 2003 studio session is not found. No evidence of alternate guitars or amps for this specific riff section. Settings are estimated based on typical modern rock/metal usage of this amp and guitar combination.

Difficulty

The riff requires tight, aggressive palm muting and rhythmic precision, especially on a baritone guitar with heavier strings. While not technically advanced, the speed, accuracy, and stamina needed for the chugging patterns make it intermediate.
