Notes
Studio recording, 2021-2022 era. Guitarist Jon uses Mesa/Boogie for heavy tones, Marisa uses Fender amps for cleans. This is for the riff section, not the solo. No official studio notes available; gear inferred from forum photos and typical band setup.

The riff requires tight, aggressive picking and rhythmic accuracy with palm muting, but does not involve advanced lead techniques or complex chord shapes.
