Notes
Studio recording for 'Snuff' (2008, All Hope Is Gone). Clean sections tracked with main signature Ibanez and Rivera KR-7. No evidence of alternate guitars or amps for clean part. No boost/OD pedals used for clean rhythm. No evidence of Jim Root's gear on clean riff section.

The clean riff is technically straightforward but requires careful dynamics and muting to keep the tone pristine and noise-free with active pickups.
