Notes

Studio recording, 2015 (Meliora album). Rhythm tracks double-tracked with Les Paul Goldtop (P-90s) through Orange and Explorer through Marshall. No explicit pedal info for studio, but high-gain amp tones. No evidence of live Axe FX or digital rigs for studio. Effects inferred from audio and typical Ghost setup.

Difficulty

The riff requires precise palm muting, tight rhythm, and control of high-gain tone to maintain clarity, making it moderately challenging for intermediate players.
