Notes

Studio recording for 'Leveler' (2011). JB Brubaker used Ibanez RG Prestige guitars with EMG 81 pickups into a Peavey 6505+ head and Mesa/Boogie Rectifier cab. Ibanez TS808/TS9 Tube Screamer used as a boost. Settings are for studio, not live.

Difficulty

The riff section features fast, technical picking, complex rhythms, and requires precise muting and control, making it very challenging even for advanced players.
