Notes

Studio recording for 'Marching in Time' (2021); Tremonti confirmed use of PRS MT 100 prototype head and his signature PRS guitar with signature humbuckers. Pedalboard included TS808HW, Morley Tremonti Wah, MXR Smart Gate, and others. Settings are estimated due to lack of explicit numbers for this song/section.

Difficulty

The main riff requires advanced right-hand technique for tight palm muting, fast alternate picking, and precise rhythm, making it challenging for most players.
