Notes

Studio recording, 2016-2017. While She Sleeps guitarist Sean Long is known for using ESP LTD EC-1000s with EMG pickups and Peavey 5150/6505 amps for main riff tones in this era. No direct studio photo for 'Silence Speaks' but this is consistent with all available evidence for the album and genre.

Difficulty

The riff requires fast, accurate palm muting and alternate picking at high tempo, with tight rhythmic precision and dynamic control, making it challenging for most guitarists.
