Notes

Studio recording, 2013 (Fortress album). Mark Tremonti is known to use his PRS signature guitar and amp for heavy rhythm tracks in this era. No direct evidence for alternate guitars/amps for this specific song's riff section. Diezel VH4-2 pedal may have been used as a preamp or flavor, but core tone is PRS MT 100.

Difficulty

The riff requires tight, aggressive palm muting and precise alternate picking at a moderate tempo, with syncopated rhythms that demand good right-hand control and timing.
