Notes

Studio recording, 2023 (album release era). Ben McLeod uses the Dale custom amp for high-gain riff sections, not the Fender Twin for this sound. Guitar is a Telecaster with single-coils, drop C tuning. Pedalboard includes fuzz, Blues Driver, delay, reverb, and modulation, but only fuzz and Blues Driver are used for the main riff. Settings estimated based on amp type and genre due to lack of explicit values.

Difficulty

The riff requires intermediate skill due to heavy tuning, dynamic control, and maintaining clarity with high gain/fuzz, but does not involve advanced lead techniques or complex chord voicings.
