Notes

Studio recording for 'Last Resort' (2000). Jerry Horton used a Schecter C-1 Elite with stock humbuckers into a Marshall JCM900 4100 for the main riff. No evidence of live rig or later signature models being used on the original recording. No evidence of digital modelers or Axe-FX for this era.

Difficulty

The riff is moderately challenging due to its fast tempo, tight palm muting, and syncopated rhythm, but does not require advanced techniques or complex fingerings.
