Notes

Studio recording context for 'Survive' (2006, The Sufferer & the Witness). Guitar is Tim McIlrath's fire-damaged 1982 Gibson SG with stock humbuckers, into a Marshall JCM900 50W head. No explicit evidence of alternate guitars/amps for the main riff section. Effects chain based on era-appropriate pedalboard and audible cues. No evidence of live rig substitutions for the studio recording.

Difficulty

The riff requires fast, accurate alternate picking and tight palm muting at a high tempo, demanding good right-hand control and stamina.
