Notes

Studio recording for 'Remember' (2002, Believe album). Guitar is Dan Donegan's stock Schecter C-1 with bridge humbucker. Amp is Mesa/Boogie Triple Rectifier, as confirmed for early Disturbed studio work. Settings are forum-sourced and genre-typical for nu-metal. No evidence of live rig or later amp models used on this recording.

Difficulty

The riff requires precise palm muting and fast alternate picking at a medium tempo, with syncopated rhythms and tight muting to maintain clarity in a high-gain setting. Intermediate players will find the percussive attack and rhythmic accuracy challenging.
