Notes

Gear confirmed for 2023 live use; no direct studio documentation for 'Generator' recording session. Likely used for both studio and live, as this is the signature high-gain rig for Turnstile's heavy riff sections. No evidence of alternate guitars or amps for the riff section. Studio year: 2021 (GLOW ON album).

Difficulty

The riff is fast and requires tight palm muting and precise rhythm, but uses straightforward power chords and picking patterns typical of modern hardcore punk.
