Notes

Studio recording, 2005; Dan Donegan is known to use PRS Custom 24 guitars and Mesa/Boogie Dual Rectifier amps for Disturbed's 'Ten Thousand Fists' era. No direct source confirms the exact serial/model, but this is consistent with all available interviews and gear rundowns for the album. No evidence of live gear or alternate guitars for the main riff section.

Difficulty

The riff requires tight, aggressive palm muting and precise rhythm control at a moderate tempo, with syncopated patterns and clean muting to maintain clarity under high gain.
