Notes
Studio recording, 2024. Mike Kerr uses a bass guitar split into separate guitar and bass amp chains with octave and fuzz pedals to create the riff sound. No evidence of a standard 6-string guitar used on this recording. All info is for the riff section of 'Ten Over Ten'.

The riff requires tight rhythmic control, effective use of octave/fuzz pedals, and careful muting to maintain clarity with high-gain effects, making it moderately challenging for intermediate players.
