Notes

Studio recording, 2013-2014 (The Hunting Party sessions). Gear based on era-accurate sources and typical Brad Delson setups for heavy tracks on this album. No direct evidence of pedal use for distortion; amp gain likely primary source. No evidence of live rig or alternate guitars for this section.

Difficulty

The riff requires fast, tight palm muting and precise alternate picking to maintain clarity under high-gain settings. Syncopated rhythms and consistent muting make it moderately challenging for intermediate players.
