Notes

Studio recording for 'Unfamiliar' (2020, The Way It Ends). Guitarist Chris Wiseman confirmed use of Ibanez RGD71AL 7-string with Seymour Duncan Fusion Edge pickups through JST Toneforge Guilty Pleasure amp sim. Drop E tuning. No explicit mention of pedals or analog amp/cab used for the riff section; all evidence points to in-the-box amp sim for the studio recording.

Difficulty

The riff requires tight, fast palm muting and precise picking on a 7-string in Drop E, with complex rhythm changes typical of modern metalcore.
