Notes
Studio recording, 2021 (Scaled and Icy album). No evidence of traditional amp use; Fly Rig 5 SansAmp is a preamp/amp sim pedal used for direct recording. Gear confirmed for album era, but not for this specific song section. No evidence of additional pedals or effects for the riff section.

Difficulty
The riff is rhythmically syncopated and requires clean, articulate picking, but uses simple single-note lines and no advanced techniques.
