Notes

Studio recording, 2002 (Wonder What's Next album). Gear confirmed for Chevelle's studio work in this era; Jim Root Stratocaster with EMG pickups and Mesa/Boogie Mark IV amp are specifically associated with Pete Loeffler's tone. No direct evidence of pedal use for the riff section; main tone is amp-based high-gain.

Difficulty

The riff requires accurate palm muting, tight rhythm, and control of heavy down-tuned strings, making it moderately challenging for intermediate players.
