Notes

Studio recording, 2008 (Scars on Broadway self-titled album). Daron primarily used the ES-335 for heavy rhythm tones on this record. No evidence of live-specific gear or alternate guitars for the riff section. Friedman-modded Marshall JMP100 is confirmed as the main amp for heavy tones in this era.

Difficulty

The riff requires tight palm muting and fast alternate picking at a medium tempo, demanding precise rhythm and attack, but does not involve advanced lead techniques or complex chord voicings.
