Notes

Studio recording, 2006. Guitarist Omar Espinosa is visually confirmed using the Jackson RRT-3 Rhoads and Bogner Uberschall in the official music video for 'Not Good Enough for Truth in Cliche'. No explicit evidence of pedal use for the riff section; amp is known for high-gain modern metal tones. No studio session notes or explicit pedalboard photos for this specific recording found.

Difficulty

The riff requires fast, tight alternate picking and palm muting, with precise timing and articulation typical of post-hardcore/metalcore rhythm guitar. Not technically extreme, but challenging for intermediate players.
