Notes
Studio recording, 2022 (Baker's Dozen singles project). All gear confirmed as Ben McLeod's main setup for this era; no evidence of alternate guitars or amps for this track. Settings estimated based on genre, amp type, and era due to lack of explicit knob values.

Difficulty
The riff requires tight rhythmic control, dynamic picking, and nuanced palm muting to capture the sludgy, swinging groove. While not technically advanced, the feel and articulation are challenging for intermediate players.
