Notes

Studio recording for 'Nightmare' album (2010). Clean sections likely used neck pickup and amp clean channel. No direct evidence of pedals or alternate amps for clean, but Synyster Gates is known to use the Dual Rectifier for both clean and dirty tones in studio. No evidence of live rig or alternate guitars for this section.

Difficulty

The clean riff requires accurate chord voicings, gentle picking, and dynamic control to maintain clarity and avoid unwanted noise, but does not involve advanced techniques or fast passages.
