Studio recording, 2016 (The North Corridor album). Guitar is a PRS Custom 24 Baritone with stock humbuckers, tuned to Drop B. Amp is a Mesa/Boogie Mark IV. Effects confirmed for riff: Boss BF-3 Flanger. No evidence of additional pedals for the main riff. No evidence of live rig differences for this song/section.

Difficulty

The riff requires tight, aggressive palm muting and precise alternate picking at a moderate tempo, with syncopated rhythms and the physical challenge of a baritone guitar in Drop B tuning.
