Notes

Studio recording for 'Jaded' (2023/2024 era); all tones on the album were recorded using the Neural DSP Archetype: Nolly plugin, not a physical amp. Guitar is tuned to F# standard with heavy gauge strings. No evidence of physical pedals or amps used in the studio for this song's riff section.

Difficulty

The riff requires advanced right-hand control for tight palm muting in a low tuning, precise rhythm for syncopated chugs, and incorporates aggressive pick scrapes and harmonics, making it challenging for most intermediate players.
