Notes

Studio recording, likely 2010s era. Patricio Sardelli is documented using a Gibson Les Paul Standard for heavy riff sections in Airbag's studio work. No direct evidence of the exact amp model or pedals used for 'Bajos Instintos' riff, but Equipboard and band interviews confirm Les Paul Standard as primary for heavy sections.

Difficulty

The riff requires solid rhythmic control, palm muting, and fast chord transitions, making it moderately challenging for intermediate players.
