Notes

Studio recording for 'The Curse' (2004). Gear inferred from Equipboard and era-specific interviews; no direct studio documentation for this song's riff, but ESP guitars with EMG pickups and Marshall JCM900 are consistently cited for Atreyu's rhythm tones on this album.

Difficulty

The riff requires precise, fast alternate picking and tight palm muting at a high tempo, with syncopated rhythms typical of metalcore, making it moderately challenging for intermediate players.
