Notes
Studio recording, 2014. Guitarist Nathan Whitney used Yamaha Pacifica models and ran direct to FOH/recording via Line 6 Helix for amp modeling. No evidence of traditional tube amps or analog pedals on the studio recording. All effects and amp tones likely from Helix. Exact Helix amp model and patch settings for this song not published.

Difficulty
The riff requires tight, syncopated rhythm playing with clean articulation and dynamic control, but does not involve advanced lead techniques or complex chord voicings.
