Notes

Studio recording, 2010s era. Gear inferred from Chevelle's known studio rig for 'La Gárgola' and 'NIRATIAS' sessions; no direct source for 'Wolves (Love & Light)' but consistent with band’s documented studio setup. No evidence of alternate guitars or amps for this riff section.

Difficulty

The riff requires solid palm muting, precise rhythm, and quick chord transitions typical of modern metal, but does not involve advanced lead techniques or complex fingerings.
