Notes

Studio recording, 2007-2008 era (original 'Hosanna' release). Gear inferred from Equipboard and multiple forum discussions referencing Hillsong United's studio setup for this period. No evidence of alternate guitars or amps for the distorted riff section.

Difficulty

The riff requires tight rhythmic accuracy to sync with the delay, dynamic control for palm muting and open chords, but does not involve advanced lead techniques or fast tempo.
