Notes

Studio recording, 2022 (Sky Void of Stars album). Gear confirmed for this era by interviews and pedalboard rundowns, but no explicit confirmation for 'Pale Flag' riff section. No evidence of alternate guitars/amps for this specific song part.

Difficulty

The riff is not technically demanding in terms of speed or complex fingering, but requires careful control of dynamics, effects, and timing to achieve the lush, ambient texture.
