Notes

Studio recording for 'Roswell 47' on the 1996 album 'Abducted'. Guitarist Peter Tägtgren is seen using a Jackson Soloist with EMG pickups and a Mesa Dual Rectifier in the official video and studio footage. No evidence of pedal use for the main riff; distortion is from the amp. Settings estimated based on genre, amp, and era.

Difficulty

The riff requires tight, fast palm muting and precise alternate picking in a low tuning, with syncopated rhythms typical of 1990s death metal. Not technically extreme, but demands accuracy and stamina.
