Notes

Studio recording, 2022-2023 era. Guitarist IV uses this 8-string Jackson with Fishman Fluence Modern pickups for the main riff and clean sections. Amp tone is modeled via Quad Cortex, with Neural DSP Archetype Gojira or Soldano SLO-100 crunch channel as the probable base. Settings are estimated due to lack of explicit numbers for the clean section. Focus is on the studio recording, not live.

Difficulty

The riff requires intermediate to advanced technique due to the 8-string format, syncopated rhythms, and the need for clean, articulate playing with subtle modulation effects.
