Notes

Studio recording, 2007. Zoltan Bathory and Jason Hook both used ESP guitars with EMG pickups and high-gain amps. Studio likely used Peavey 5150/6505 heads, as was typical for the band at the time. Live rigs included Marshall JCM800s and Fractal Axe-Fx II modeling JCM800 with overdrive. Settings are estimated based on genre, era, and amp type due to lack of explicit studio knob settings.

Difficulty

The riff requires tight palm muting, fast alternate picking, and precise muting to maintain clarity at high gain, making it moderately challenging for intermediate players.
