Notes

Live performance rig, as used by Morgan Lander for Kittie during the era of 'Spit' (late 1990s/early 2000s). Riff section, not solo. No evidence of additional pedals except for a noise gate. Gain set to maximum, clean and dirty channels used, but for riff section, dirty channel is primary.

Difficulty

The riff requires fast, aggressive alternate picking and tight palm muting for clarity and punch, but does not involve advanced lead techniques or complex chord voicings.
