Notes
Studio recording for 'Push' (2002, Killing the Dragon album). Gear inferred from Equipboard and era-specific interviews. No direct studio photo or explicit session note for this song, but all evidence points to Campbell's typical early 2000s setup.

Difficulty
The riff requires tight, aggressive palm muting and fast alternate picking at a medium-fast tempo, with precise timing to lock in with the rhythm section. While not extremely technical, the articulation and speed demand solid intermediate skills.
