Notes
Studio recording, 1990 (album: 'El Mar No Cesa' 1988, but gear evidence points to early 90s rig for 'Senderos de Traición' era). Gear confirmed for early 90s studio/live use, but no explicit studio session photo for this song. No evidence of pedal use for riff section; effects are likely amp-based.

The riff requires tight, syncopated rhythm playing with palm muting and dynamic control to maintain articulation and crunch, but does not involve advanced techniques or fast tempo.
