Notes

Studio recording, 2006-2007 (Puzzle album sessions). No direct source confirms the exact guitar/amp for this song, but Simon Neil is widely documented using a Stratocaster and Marshall JCM800 in this period for heavy riff sections. No evidence of alternate guitars or amps for this specific riff section.

Difficulty

The riff requires tight, aggressive palm muting and precise picking to maintain clarity and punch at a moderate tempo, making it intermediate for most players.
