Notes

Studio recording, 2007-2008. Zach Myers' live rig changed over the years, but for the 'Second Chance' studio recording, interviews and rig rundowns indicate use of a PRS Custom 24 into a Fuchs Mantis head, possibly with a Diezel Herbert for layering. Axe-Fx and other digital rigs were adopted later for live use. No evidence of alternate guitars or amps for this specific riff section.

Difficulty

The riff requires moderately tight rhythm playing with palm muting and dynamic control, but does not involve advanced techniques or fast tempo, making it accessible to intermediate players.
