Notes
Studio recording, 2017. Gear confirmed for 'The Remedy' era via Equipboard and user posts. Amp is digital modeling (Axe-Fx II), not a physical amp head. Orange PPC412 cab used for live, but studio likely direct or re-amped. No evidence of analog pedals in the riff section; all effects likely from Axe-Fx II.

Difficulty
The riff requires tight, fast palm muting and precise rhythm, with challenging syncopation and use of a 7-string guitar, making it difficult for most intermediate players.
