Notes

Studio recording, 2012-2013 (Sempiternal sessions). No explicit evidence of a different guitar/amp for clean sections; Lee Malia used his signature Les Paul and JCM800 for the album. No evidence of alternate clean amp or DI for clean parts.

Difficulty

The clean riff requires accurate picking and dynamic control to maintain clarity and avoid unwanted breakup, but does not involve advanced techniques or complex chord voicings.
