Notes

Gear confirmed from Premier Guitar Rig Rundown for Chris Broderick with In Flames. No explicit confirmation this is the exact rig for the studio recording of 'Red' by Chris Brown, but this is the only Chris Brown with a metal context and the only relevant gear found. No evidence of alternate guitars or amps for the riff section. Studio vs live context not specified, but gear is consistent with modern metal studio/live setups. Year/era: 2010s+.

Difficulty

The riff requires fast, accurate picking and tight palm muting to maintain clarity at high gain, with precise timing and noise control, making it challenging for most players.
