Notes

Studio recording for the album 'Jar' (2013). Taylor Madison confirmed use of the Squier Jazzmaster and Hiwatt Custom 100 for rhythm/riff tones. Pedals confirmed for album recording, not just live. Celestion Vintage 30 speakers in Avatar 4x12 cabinet also mentioned.

Difficulty

The riff is moderately challenging due to the need for tight, percussive palm muting and clarity with heavy fuzz/distortion, but does not require advanced lead or complex chord voicings.
