Notes

Studio recording for 'Glow On' (2021); main riff section. Guitarist Pat McCrory used the Gretsch Duo Jet for much of the record, paired with Brady Ebert's Peavey 5150 for the core heavy tone. Minimal pedals used; focus on amp distortion. Studio context, not live rig.

Difficulty

The riff requires fast, aggressive picking with tight palm muting and precise rhythm, typical of modern hardcore punk, but does not involve advanced lead techniques or complex chord voicings.
