Notes

Studio recording for Mezmerize (2004-2005). Gear confirmed for Daron Malakian's rhythm tones on this album. No evidence of additional drive/distortion pedals for the riff section; high-gain amp channel used. Cab likely Marshall 1960B 4x12. No evidence of effects loop or additional rack effects for riff section.

Difficulty

The riff requires fast, accurate alternate picking and tight palm muting at a high tempo, demanding good right-hand control and stamina for extended heavy rhythm playing.
