Notes

Studio recording, 2016. Both Tosin Abasi and Javier Reyes used their Abasi Concepts Larada 8-string guitars with Fishman Fluence pickups and Axe-Fx II amp modeling for the album. Clean sections often use modeled Fender or boutique clean amps within the Axe-Fx. No evidence of traditional tube amps or live rig for this specific studio clean section.

Difficulty

The clean riff requires expert-level thumping/slap technique, advanced rhythmic precision, and mastery of extended-range guitar, making it extremely challenging even for advanced players.
