Notes

Studio recording, 2018 (Addicted to the Violence album era). Daron Malakian is known to use this SG and Marshall JMP100 for Scars on Broadway studio work post-Mezmerize/Hypnotize. No evidence of guitar layering for this album; single guitar track likely. No evidence of live gear or alternate guitars for this riff section.

Difficulty

The riff requires tight, aggressive palm muting and fast alternate picking at a high tempo, with syncopated rhythms typical of modern metal. While not technically virtuosic, the precision and stamina required make it moderately challenging.
