Notes

Studio recording for 'Resurrection' (2006); rhythm/riff section. Rob Arnold confirmed ESP custom guitars and Peavey 6505+ blended with Bogner Uberschall for studio rhythm tones. No evidence of pedals used for distortion; all gain from amp. ISP Decimator noise gate likely used for tightness, but not explicitly confirmed for this recording. Effects are minimal; focus is on tight, high-gain rhythm.

Difficulty

The riff requires advanced palm muting, fast alternate picking, and precise rhythm synchronization, making it challenging for most players.
