Notes

Studio recording for 'Shogun' (2008). Rhythm guitars tracked with Dean MKH 7-string ML and Peavey 6505+ into Mesa/Boogie cabinet with Celestion Vintage 30s. Ibanez TS9 Tube Screamer and ISP Decimator used in front. Confirmed by Matt Heafy in interviews and gear rundowns. Fishman Fluence pickups were not yet in use for this album. Settings are for studio rhythm/riff section, not live.

Difficulty

The riff section of 'Shogun' is highly technical, requiring fast and accurate picking, tight palm muting, and advanced rhythm skills typical of modern metal. The combination of speed, precision, and endurance makes it challenging even for experienced players.
