Notes

Studio recording, 1999-2000 era for 'The Fundamental Elements of Southtown' album. No direct source confirms exact serial/model, but period photos and interviews consistently show Ibanez RG 7-string and Mesa/Boogie Dual Rectifier as Marcos Curiel's main rig for this album's heavy riff sections.

Difficulty

The riff is moderately challenging due to its tight palm muting, syncopated rhythm, and use of a 7-string guitar, but does not require advanced lead techniques or fast alternate picking.
