Notes
Studio recording, 2006 (Comatose album). Guitar confirmed from cover video using song-accurate gear; amp inferred from Skillet's modern metal tone and genre conventions. No direct evidence of pedal use on studio recording for riff section.

The riff requires tight palm muting, aggressive picking, and precise rhythm for the modern metal sound. Noise control and articulation are critical due to the high-gain setting.
