Notes

Live performance, 2020s era. Sayce is confirmed to use the PRS Silver Sky and Fender Super Reverb (sometimes with his Mystic Mother head in stereo) for live performances of 'Morning Star (Live)'. Settings are for live, not studio. Mystic Mother is Sayce's custom amp head. PRS Silver Sky is his main live guitar for this song.

Difficulty

The riff requires advanced control of dynamics and tone, fast picking, and nuanced use of stacked fuzz/overdrive pedals for sustain and clarity. The combination of technical picking and expressive phrasing makes it challenging for most players.
