Notes

Studio recording, likely tracked for the album 'Memo Rex Commander y el Corazón Atómico de la Vía Láctea' (2006). Sergio Acosta is seen using this exact guitar and amp in rig rundowns and gear showcases for this era. Two-amp setups are mentioned, but the AC30 is the primary amp for the riff tone.

Difficulty

The riff requires tight timing and clean execution to blend with the modulation effects, but does not involve advanced techniques or fast passages.
