Notes

Studio recording, 2016. Gear based on 'The Stage' album era and multiple rig rundowns. No evidence of alternate guitars/amps for riff section. Synyster Gates' Hellwin amp and his signature Schecter with Invader bridge pickup are confirmed for this era. Pickup selector likely bridge for heavy riff. No evidence of additional studio amps or alternate guitars for the heavy section.

Difficulty

The riff requires tight palm muting, precise rhythm, and clarity under high gain, but does not involve advanced lead techniques or extreme speed.
