Notes

Studio recording for 'Periphery II: This Time It's Personal' (2012). Periphery used Axe-Fx II for all amp and effects processing in the studio. No pedalboards; all effects and amp models handled in the Axe-Fx. Exact amp model within Axe-Fx not confirmed for this song, but high-gain models typical for Periphery rhythm tones.

Difficulty

The riff requires advanced left-hand chord shapes, tight right-hand rhythm, and clean execution to maintain clarity under high gain and delay effects.
