Notes

Studio recording for 'Ashes of the Wake' (2004). Mark Morton used a Jackson Dominion with bridge humbucker for riff sections. Main amp was Mesa/Boogie Mark IV, often run as a pair (EL34 and 6L6). No evidence of live/touring gear or other amp models for this song's recording. Settings and pedals are for studio rhythm/riff tone.

Difficulty

The riff section requires advanced right-hand technique for tight, fast palm muting and precise alternate picking, as well as left-hand accuracy for rapid position shifts and complex rhythm patterns.
