Notes

Studio recording, 2007. Mark Tremonti is known to use his PRS Tremonti Signature guitar with the bridge pickup for heavy rhythm sections in Alter Bridge's 'Blackbird' album era. No direct source confirms pedal use for this riff, and no evidence of modulation/time-based effects is audible in the main riff. Live, he sometimes uses Marshall amps, but the studio recording is widely reported to be Mesa/Boogie Dual Rectifier.

Difficulty

The riff requires fast, consistent alternate picking and tight palm muting, demanding good synchronization and stamina, but does not involve advanced lead techniques or complex chord voicings.
