Notes

Studio recording, 2021 (album: Fortitude). Joe Duplantier used his signature Charvel with DiMarzio PAF pickups into a Fender-produced EVH 5150 III amp. No pedals except for Whammy on select parts; main riff is amp distortion only. Microphone: Shure SM57 on EVH cab. No evidence of additional effects or pedals for the main riff section.

Difficulty

The riff requires fast, accurate alternate picking with tight palm muting and precise rhythm, demanding both technical skill and physical endurance.
