Notes

Studio recording, 2006 (Erotic Cakes album). Gear confirmed for this era by Premier Guitar and Equipboard. No evidence of live digital/modeling use for this album. Pedalboard included Suhr Koko Boost and TC Electronic Flashback delay. Effects loop used for delay. Settings estimated based on typical Suhr Badger/Aristocrats-era rig and genre.

Difficulty

The riff section of 'Sevens' is extremely technical, requiring advanced two-handed tapping, fast alternate picking, and precise rhythmic execution at a high tempo.
