Notes

Studio recording for 'Stranded' (2016, Magma album). Main rhythm guitar is Joe Duplantier's Charvel signature with EMG 81 bridge pickup into EVH 5150 III. No evidence of additional pedals for rhythm except amp distortion. DigiTech Whammy used on select parts, but not main riff. Studio, not live.

Difficulty

The riff requires advanced palm muting, tight alternate picking, and precise rhythm to maintain clarity and aggression at a medium-fast tempo, making it challenging for most players.
