Notes
Studio recording, 2010s+ era. No direct evidence of traditional amp use; Fly Rig 5 SansAmp is a common direct-to-DAW solution for modern rock/metal tones. Guitar model confirmed as used by NateWantsToBattle, but not explicitly tied to this song—confidence moderate.
Tone Character(10)
tight and percussivearticulate palm-muted chugsaggressive and saturatedclear note separationcompressed and focused attackslightly scooped midscrisp, defined top endcontrolled low endstudio-polished heavy guitarlow noise floor
Difficulty
The riff requires precise palm muting, fast alternate picking, and tight rhythm for a modern heavy rock sound. While not technically extreme, the speed and accuracy needed for a polished studio recording elevate the difficulty above basic rhythm playing.
