Notes

Studio recording, 2004-2005 for 'City of Evil'. Clean sections likely used the same guitar and amp as the main riff, but with lower gain and effects engaged for clarity. No evidence of alternate guitar or amp for clean sections.

Difficulty

The clean riff requires tight timing and clarity at a fast tempo, but does not involve advanced techniques or complex voicings, making it moderately challenging for intermediate players.
