Notes

Studio recording for 'If You Can't Hang' (2011). Multiple amps were used on the album, but the main riff tone is most likely the EVH 5150 III or Soldano SLO-100, as referenced by guitarist Jack Fowler. Guitar is a Les Paul Custom, as confirmed by Nick Martin and Jack Fowler for this era and album. Effects and pedals are kept minimal for rhythm sections.

Difficulty

The riff requires fast, accurate picking and palm muting at a high tempo, with tight rhythmic precision and clarity under high-gain settings, making it moderately challenging for intermediate players.
