Notes

Studio recording for 'The End of Heartache' album (2003-2004). Both Adam D. and Joel S. used Framus Cobra heads for 'Rose of Sharyn' rhythm tracks, not the Framus Dragon or Peavey 5150. No evidence of pedals for rhythm tone; all gain/distortion from amp. Pickup choice inferred from era and interviews. No evidence of live rig or post-2010 gear used for this recording.

Difficulty

The riff requires fast, accurate alternate picking and tight palm muting in a low tuning, demanding good right-hand technique and rhythmic precision typical of modern metalcore.
