Notes

Studio recording, 2003; main riff section. No Fuzz Factory or Whammy pedal used on the riff. Phaser/flanger not used in riff, only in solo/outro. Effects chain is minimal for riff; distortion from amp. Guitar is the Manson MB-1 with custom humbuckers, as confirmed by multiple sources.

Difficulty

The riff requires fast, accurate alternate picking and palm muting at high speed, with tight rhythmic precision and stamina, making it challenging for most players.
