Notes

Studio recording, 2018 (Artificial Selection era). Guitar Chalk and Equipboard both reference Strandberg Boden and EVH 5150 III as main studio gear for Will Swan during this period. Settings and pedal use are based on studio context, not live. No evidence of alternate guitars or amps for this riff section.

Difficulty

The riff section features fast, syncopated rhythms, hybrid picking, and tight palm muting, demanding advanced right-hand technique and precise timing.
