Notes
Studio recording, 2024 single version. No direct source confirms exact gear for 'Peacefield' riff, but Ghost's recent studio rhythm tones are consistently Les Paul into Friedman BE-100 or similar high-gain British-voiced amps. No evidence of live rig or alternate guitars for this part.

The riff requires tight palm muting, accurate downpicking, and maintaining clarity under high-gain settings, making it moderately challenging for intermediate players.
