Notes

Studio recording, 2011 era. Amp and cab confirmed from music video and Equipboard. Guitar model inferred from Derek Jones' typical studio use and visual evidence from the era. No explicit pedalboard or effect info for studio session; focus is on main riff section.

Difficulty

The riff requires tight, aggressive palm muting and precise alternate picking at a moderate tempo, with syncopated rhythm patterns typical of modern metalcore. While not extremely technical, it demands accuracy and stamina.
