Notes

Studio recording for 'Champagne' (2022, 'Remember That You Will Die' album). Scott LePage's SLM10 signature guitar confirmed for this era/album. Axe-Fx II is the main amp/effects unit for Polyphia's studio tones. No evidence of traditional tube amp or analog pedals in the studio chain for this song section.

Difficulty

The riff section features rapid, technical picking patterns, syncopated rhythms, and requires advanced right-hand technique and dynamic control, making it highly challenging for most guitarists.
