Notes

Studio recording, 2013-2014 (album: La Gárgola). Pete Loeffler is confirmed to use a PRS baritone guitar with stock pickups into a Mesa/Boogie Mark IV for heavy riff sections. No evidence of alternate guitars or amps for this song's riff section. Effects chain is modest, with most gain/distortion from amp and select pedals for EQ and grit.

Difficulty

The riff requires precise palm muting and rhythmic accuracy in a low baritone tuning, but does not involve advanced lead techniques or complex chord voicings.
