Notes

Studio recording, 2023. Guitar and amp model inferred from multiple sources referencing IV's studio and live rig for 'Take Me Back to Eden' era. Quad Cortex used for amp/cab/effects; analog boost/OD pedals before QC. Baritone guitar and Fishman Fluence pickups confirmed for this era. No evidence of alternate guitars/amps for this riff section.

Difficulty

The riff requires tight, aggressive palm muting and precise picking in a downtuned/baritone context, with syncopated rhythms and clarity needed for note separation in a dense mix.
