Notes

Studio recording, 2001-2002 era for 'The Second Stage Turbine Blade'. Clean sections likely used the neck pickup and rolled-back volume for clarity. No explicit evidence of alternate guitars or amps for the clean part; Explorer and Uberschall are cited as primary studio gear for this album. No evidence of live rig or later digital rigs for this recording.

Difficulty

The riff requires tight, syncopated picking with clean articulation and dynamic control, as well as accurate muting and string skipping, making it moderately challenging for intermediate players.
