Notes
Studio recording, 2016 album 'Misadventures'. Tony Perry used a Kemper Profiler loaded with a profile of his modded 1971 Marshall Super Lead for the album. Effects and pedalboard were replicated in the Kemper for tracking. No evidence of alternate guitars or amps for the riff section.

The riff requires tight palm muting, precise alternate picking, and dynamic control to maintain clarity and articulation at a moderate tempo. Syncopated rhythms and aggressive attack add to the challenge.
