Notes

Studio recording, 2024-2025 era. No direct confirmation of exact studio amp for 'Kabisado' riff, but covers and Equipboard suggest Strat-style guitar with bridge pickup and British-voiced amp or amp sim. Pedal-based distortion and modulation effects are used in covers; original likely similar. Settings and effects are estimated based on covers and genre conventions.

Difficulty

The riff requires intermediate-level funk rhythm accuracy, tight muting, and dynamic control to maintain clarity with multiple effects. The tempo and syncopation add to the challenge, but no advanced lead techniques are required.
