Notes

Gear is based on Premier Guitar's rig rundown and pedalboard for Chris Broderick and Björn Gelotte, who played on 'Alias' (2008, A Sense of Purpose). Studio recording context; pedalboard and rack FX used offstage. No explicit amp head model confirmed for this recording, but ENGL cabs and EMG pickups are confirmed for this era. No evidence of Orange, Peavey, or Marshall for this specific song/album.

Difficulty

The riff requires fast, accurate alternate picking with aggressive palm muting and precise timing, making it challenging for most intermediate players.
