Notes

Studio recording, 2019-2021 era. Gear based on confirmed sightings and user reports for 'Ruthless' and adjacent sessions. No direct studio documentation for this song, but JC-40 is confirmed in live and session use for this era. DOD Overdrive Preamp 250 is confirmed in Jesse's pedalboard, but not explicitly tied to 'Ruthless' studio recording.

Difficulty

The riff requires tight, syncopated picking and clean articulation to maintain clarity with chorus and reverb effects, but does not demand advanced techniques or high speed.
