Notes

Studio recording for 'The Joy of Motion' (2014). Tosin Abasi is known to use the Ibanez TAM100 with DiMarzio Ionizer 8 pickups and Fractal Axe-Fx II for all tones on this album. No evidence of traditional tube amp or cab miking for the riff section; all tones are modeled. No evidence of live rig or alternate guitars for this section.

Difficulty

The riff section of 'Kascade' is extremely technical, requiring advanced 8-string technique, fast and precise picking, complex rhythms, and tight muting. Mastery of extended-range guitar and modern metal techniques is essential.
