Notes

Studio recording for 'Hail to the King' album (2013). Synyster Gates' signature Schecter Hellwin amp and Schecter Synyster Gates Custom guitar with Seymour Duncan Invader pickups were confirmed as the core of the album's tone. No evidence of live rig or alternate gear for this specific riff section.

Difficulty

The riff requires tight, aggressive palm muting and precise rhythm control to maintain clarity at high gain, with syncopated groove and muted string handling adding to the challenge.
