Notes

Studio recording, 2005 era (Good Apollo, I'm Burning Star IV, Vol. 1). Travis Stever used a Les Paul with EMG pickups for the main riff. Claudio Sanchez used a Gibson EDS-1275 for live, but studio recording is confirmed as Les Paul with EMGs. Amp is Bogner Uberschall, not Marshall or Orange for this song's studio version.

Difficulty

The riff requires tight, aggressive palm muting, fast alternate picking, and precise timing, especially with syncopated rhythms and wide power chord stretches. It's challenging for intermediate players but not at an expert level.
