Notes

Studio recording, 2014 (Sempiternal/That's the Spirit era). Lee Malia is confirmed to use his signature Les Paul with custom pickups and a Marshall JCM800 for main rhythm tones in this era. Orange Rockerverb 100 is also seen in his rig, but JCM800 is primary for heavy riff sections. Effects and pedals are based on studio use, not live. No evidence of Kemper or digital amps for main rhythm in studio.

Difficulty

The riff requires precise palm muting and tight rhythm under high-gain settings, but does not involve advanced lead techniques or complex chord voicings.
