Notes

Studio recording for 'MYSTERY' (2021, GLOW ON album). Main riff tracked with Gretsch Duo Jet into Peavey 5150 for core tone; some layering with Kemper Profiler using Marshall JCM800 profile. Minimal pedal use, focus on amp distortion. No evidence of live rig or alternate guitars for this section.

Difficulty

The riff requires fast, tight downstroke picking and palm muting typical of modern hardcore punk, but does not involve complex chord shapes or advanced lead techniques.
