Notes

Studio recording for 'Supermassive Black Hole' (2006). Guitar is a Manson MB-1 with Hot Rails bridge pickup. Amp is most likely a Diezel VH4, as used on the album. Fuzz is DI'd for this track. No evidence of live/tour gear being used on the studio recording.

Difficulty

The riff requires precise timing, tight palm muting, and control over the gated fuzz's unpredictable behavior, but does not involve advanced lead techniques or fast alternate picking.
