Notes

No direct studio documentation for 'Prove', but Toru's main studio and live rig for the 2010s (including the 'Ambitions' era, which matches the song's release) is the PRS Custom 24 into a Friedman BE-100. No evidence of alternate guitars or amps for this riff section. Settings estimated based on genre, amp type, and era. Studio context assumed based on song release.

Difficulty

The riff requires fast, accurate alternate picking and tight palm muting, demanding good right-hand control and rhythmic precision. The aggressive tempo and need for clarity in high-gain settings add to the challenge.
