Notes
Studio recording, 2012 (Time I album). Settings and gear are for the original studio recording of the riff section, not live. Guitar was a stock Ibanez JEM7V with bridge pickup selected, standard tuning.

Difficulty
The riff section is technically demanding due to its high speed, intricate rhythm patterns, and need for tight, articulate palm muting. Synchronization with layered arrangements and maintaining clarity at high gain add to the challenge.
