Notes

Studio recording, released 2013 (If You Have Ghost EP). No direct source confirms exact guitar/amp for this track, but Ghost's rhythm tones in this era are widely reported to use Gibson SGs and Marshall JCM800s for heavy riffing. No evidence of live-specific gear for the studio version.

Difficulty

The riff requires solid palm muting, tight rhythm, and control of high-gain noise, but does not involve advanced lead techniques or extreme speed.
