Notes

Studio recording, original album version (2006). Guitar is confirmed as the Charvel Guthrie Govan Signature with Suhr pickups. Amp is Suhr Badger 30, used with power scaling. No evidence of Victory amps or Fractal units on the original studio recording; those are for later live use. Effects are mostly from pedals, not amp. Pickup selection for riff is typically bridge humbucker (SSH Plus) for clarity and snap. Year: 2006.

Difficulty

The riff section requires advanced hybrid picking, intricate funk rhythms with ghost notes, and precise dynamic control, making it extremely challenging even for experienced players.
