Notes

Studio recording, 2003 (Translating the Name EP). Guitar confirmed via Equipboard and forum posts. Amp confirmed via multiple forum sources. Clean tone sections likely used neck or middle pickup. No explicit mention of pedals or effects for clean section; TS808 boost is mentioned for heavy tones but not clean. No evidence of live rig for this era.

Difficulty

The clean riff requires precise alternate picking and tight rhythmic control at a fast tempo, but does not involve advanced chord voicings or complex techniques.
