Notes

Studio recording, 2007-2008 (Finding Beauty In Negative Spaces sessions). Guitar and amp inferred from Seether's documented studio gear for this album; no direct source for this exact song, but Orange Rockerverb and Schecter C-1 are strongly evidenced for this era.

Difficulty

The riff requires solid palm muting, precise rhythm, and control of high-gain articulation, but does not involve advanced lead techniques or complex chord voicings.
