Notes

Studio recording, 2012 (Koi No Yokan album). Stephen Carpenter played the main riff on his ESP 8-string with EMG 808s, using his typical Marshall JMP-1/9200 rack setup. No evidence of Chino Moreno's clean guitar on the main riff; this is Stephen's part. No evidence of amp reverb or built-in effects. Effects are all pedal-based. Settings estimated based on genre, era, and typical Deftones studio rig for this song/section.

Difficulty

The riff requires clean, precise picking and wide stretches on an 8-string guitar, with careful timing to maintain clarity with the ambient effects.
