Notes

Studio recording, 2008 (from 'Dark Horse' album sessions). Guitar confirmed as crystal-covered Les Paul Custom for this song. Mesa/Boogie Dual Rectifier used for heavy/overdrive tones. No explicit mention of pedals in the studio chain for the riff, but live rig includes noise gate and possible boost/OD. No evidence of time-based or modulation effects on the riff section.

Difficulty

The riff requires tight, fast palm muting and precise rhythm playing to maintain clarity with high-gain distortion. While not technically advanced, the speed and tightness demand solid intermediate technique.
